Yep just like motherboards. I've bought several open box items from them. They have a test bench in store if they don't find a problem with it then it will likely be put back up for sale with a yellow sticker on it. I'm not sure what the exact process is but I do know they sell all manor of...
You have 30 days so open it decide which one you want to keep then return or sell the other one. If you return it opened someone else gets it for a slight discount. Win Win Microcenter makes money either way.
