good price for a 6600 as long as you dont mind the open box stuff.
Looks like someone already snagged the cheaper one.

There's actually a sticky for Newegg refurbs, and this really ought to belong there.
I've had pretty so-so luck with Newegg refurbished stuff. I wouldn't buy a hard drive from there, and I think four of five video cards I bought were failures. Often the refurbed CPUs don't overclock very well, though you can get lucky. I have a feeling that people sometimes return stuff that doesn't meet their overclocking expectations. For a stock rig you can find some great deals, though.

I've purchased a ton of open box items from newegg over the years, and have had very few problems. The only DOA part was a Ti4600. Tells you how long ago that was! I've never had trouble with hard drives, motherboards, CPU's, memory, etc. and I'm usually buying an open box product at least once a month. The only thing I let people know is that with mobo's you only have a 50/50 chance of getting anything besides the bare board. Things like the i/o plate, cables and other stuff have pretty good odds of being missing.

And you didn't hang up the idea of buying refurbs from them after the first one? Lol
maybe he bought five in one order?

It was such a good deal!And you didn't hang up the idea of buying refurbs from them after the first one? Lol
I think I bought a couple in one order, and then kept switching out with other refurbs until I got one that worked.

I only posted them here because the sticky gets cluttered sometimes.
I recently bought a Q6600 G0 stepping Open box for 140 dollars, It clocks to 3.6 but because my cooling is inadequate I run it at 3.4. 1 week later they had one for 130 dollars, I was like.... crap... but with almost 60 dollar savings, I am not gonna complain.
I find they have a q6600 almost once every week or two weeks for around 140-150 dollars. Mine was not supposed to come with HSF but it had the complete box.
