X800 XT PE ORDERED (Sapphire)
I just bought a STEAL! $415 USD for a normally $500 card. It’s a Sapphire X800 XT PE (says XT only, but it is PE says some reviewers). It’s refurbished and OEM, but I saved $75 by not buying a box. Wow, $75 box.
I highly recommend getting this card if you don’t want a $75 box. That said, I don’t have it yet and haven’t tested it. I am recommending by price 
.
I’ll let you know how it works later. I can order World of Warcraft with the money I saved!

Alex, try using your name.
Secondly, I bought a refurbished one. It was $415. That one is new. (Also, I am comparing $75 saved to the Built-By-ATI one at $500)
If it breaks and the warranty is gone:
1) Buy new one
2) Request RMA for new one
3) Send old one
4) Get money back for old one (they are quite lenient, no box or anything needed to return).
Yes, it would cost me the dollars I saved, but if it doesn’t break, then I save money.

Upon opening the box, I saw a packing slip and a little box with the card in it (hey, it’s OEM. Check out my comment on the other post for reasons of what I do if it bre…
