More like A grade.
My hd6850 was well like new and runs fine.
Thanks for the sweets and the great service, very happy.

Sometimes it just means they have been literally been opened and returned as they changed their mind, or could be missing like one adapter you wont even use.

My mobo was the same. Brand new in the box.

Same with my recent 7870 purchase, but I have also purchased B-Grade motherboards that arrived without any accessories whatsoever and in a plain brown box. Everything I have bought B-Grade has however worked fine, so no complaints here. I have received new bits in worse condition than some of the B-Grade stuff.

What surprises me, is the number of people looking for a budget build, but will turn their noses up, if you recommend "B" grade items.
I always check out the clearance section, some really good bargains to be had, from time to time.

It is luck of the draw though, as shown you can get a peach of an item or one that just arrives alone in a brown box.

Personally I wouldn't as I don't buy anything without a full warranty anymore. (Although you may be able to still have warranty with the manufacturer it's not guaranteed.)

Would be nice if they actually list how long a manufacturer's warranty is left with each B grade items. Can't be that hard to for OCUK staff as they originally sold the product to the first user.

There were two in there the other week and I missed them both because I faffed about thinking about it too long .

My mobo was like new, my case had a scratch on the window (nothing to cry over lol)
I'm spending more time looking at the clearance lines lol, i'm getting some decent bargains.

Ideal for budget builds. Spare systems to gift etc.

Just picked up a £15 case from b grade to rebuild my sister in law's pc. Bargain! Even has large cut out for motherboard and a 500w PSU too (CIT)

It is luck of the draw though, as shown you can get a peach of an item or one that just arrives alone in a brown box.

still a brown box motherboard for x amount less is nothing to be disapointed with.
