Hi all
I am looking to build a new computer and am looking around for a case. I like the CM 830 cases and found them at the CM store for $138 vs $250 from newegg. the one from the CM store is refurbish but I am wondering what the quality is of the case, how much damage do they have ect..
Any information would be great
Thanks all
 
We can't tell you -- most of us here don't work at the warehouses where NewEgg keeps its refurbished products.

IIRC, most of NewEgg's refurbished items are items that were returned by dissatisfied customers. They may or may not have been used (though many are usually opened at least), and there may or may not have been any damage done to them. However, most refurbished items come sold "as-is," and they often don't come with any documentation or accessories (other than the item in question).

There's really no way to tell for certain.
 
Fail.
Refurb is from CM Store
New is from Newegg.

OP is asking about condition of CM Store refurbs.
 
Yuh, applies but... some stores do better refurbs than others. Take Onkyo- my HTIB smelled new (y'know that sweet smell something new gets turned on and you can smell it from the vents.. mmm), packed insanely well with too much strofoam and didn't come scratched and borked. Other places just throw it in a generic box and ships them away damaged... like fucking eCost.
 
I understand, but I am wondering if anyone here has ordered anything directly from the CM store that has been listed as a refurbish item
 
You may want to check their own forums and/or talk with their CS dept to see what they would do if there was an issue with it such as scratched panels/missing pieces.
