Hmm, just got my box from compgeeks an hour ago, everything that I ordered is here, everything looks fine to me, mobo is new retail box, floppy was bulk/OEM, but packed in a seperate foam-padded box inside the shipping box. The only thing dodgy was the OEM Compaq P4 heatsink that I ordered for $3.79, it was just wrapped in bubble-wrap and put in the shipping box, no tape, so the plastic cover over the pre-applied theral compound came off and the compound got on the ubble-wrap, and one of the metal retaining clips was a tiny, tiny bit bent, but was easily straigtened. The OEM heatsink's fan power cable was a bit short though, too short. Thankfully I found a 3-pin fan extension cable in my junk-box.
Then again, most of the complaints against them in the past have been about their RMA service; this is my first-ever order from them, and I've never had to RMA anything.
I give them credit for quick response to feedback, though, as after I placed the order, I noitced that they showed SATA cables bundled with the mobo in the picture, and I knew that SATA wasn't natively supported on this board, nor does the board mfg's page show anything about an add-on SATA chipset. I notified them of that via their web-page feedback form, and by the very next day, the picture had been updated without the misleading cable included. That's pretty good if you ask me.
Like any surplus computer parts dealer, you need to read the fine print in the description and know what you're buying.
