http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=BG-345-AS
Do you think it will just come bare (as I have heard before with b grade) I need the board to have its hdmi card with it as its for a htpc project of mine

It may come bare, I sure it will come boxed with most of the accessories in tacked, in fact im pretty sure it will.

hm decisions decisions dont want to waste money on it that could be put to something else . It really has to have the hdmi card for it to be any use

Actually most of the bgrade motherboards ive had ( all asus ) have come as just the bare board.

The only non asus one i had was a gigabyte and that came complete boxed

Thats what I thought too Most people on here that I have seen buying b grade just get the bare item

give the shop a call or post in the customer serives forum. Thats how i find out what comes with b grade items

Thought HDMI was built into the motherboard?

Bottom line is you're covered by the DSR, but the postage back to OcUK will be half the purchase price, and the shop are VERY unlikely to be able to tell you what is included, so it's probably too much of a risk to be worthwhile.

I really don't understand why the store can't take a few seconds to list what you actually get, but the purchase price is usually a good indication of what you'll get. Cheap=nout.

YUP exactly what I thought as this board wont do hdmi without the card that comes with it so judging by the price your probably right

Second that, I'm sure I'm not the only person that'd be more likely to buy B Grade stuff if we knew exactly why it's B grade.

What the customer support forum is for guys.

Post a thread up and as long as there is just 1 item in stock we will be able to tell you what is included with the board.

Yeah, but if I'm in one of those moods where I'm looking for an excuse to buy something you'll have me asking you about a dozen different items, and sooner or later you'll want to kill me!
