Obviously you've never worked retail. No one gives open box discounts unless it was purchased, used and returned.
Also, all motherboards are not created equal and the fact that you even brought ECS into this thread should remove all your credibility towards the topic. ECS is the number one returned motherboard across all Fry's Electronics, in fact they are so shitty and flawed by default that they're given away for free with CPU's every single weekend.
If you want to buy crap because someone who uses crap says it's good, go ahead and buy ECS. But you'll be just like all the losers who buy Air Link instead of Linksys because it's cheap and they've never experienced quality.
