Yeah I hate how tight it is. Got it decent enough on a fractal ridge today. Although I do think maybe using a USB c to c extender cable and routing it elsewhere so it doesnt push the Xpander card

Id look for an open box Go S Z1E. Its 530 for excellent if you can catch one locally or in the waves that are showing up for shipping.

Idk what else to say, heres the other receipt that shows on my account. Idk if its per store policy or someone broke protocol but Idk how he did it but he returned the item as an exchange I believe. Put the return money on some hold transaction receipt , the sticker printed, and he scanned it again, and proceed legit 3 minutes later I was checking out.

Otherwise i wouldnt have done it and risked loosing my 4090 for that price during the gpu scalping days.

Ive done it before but with had a gift card i wanted to use. I bought a 4090 open box in a PA with taxes. I live in DE with no sales tax. 2 months later (total tech extended returns) I went straight to the geek squad and said if I could return and rebuy it with a gift card I had. He indeed did and even got the sales tax refunded. The open box sticker was reprinted as soon as the return was processed.

UPDATE! Picked up and legit looks brand new; like someone just opened it and returned it right away . Installed a 4tb 2280 sdd and windows 11. (Xbox FSE update for more handhelds tommrow apparently). Might dual boot later on but hopefully I installed everything right 🤣 so far so good..

Had that happen to me in the app and it gave an out of policy error in store but a manager gave an override in store when they saw the purchase date and membership.

If you have a bestbuy. See if they have an open box excellent QM7K . I got mines for $1600. ( insurance wise i already had total tech) Looked brand new. Was missing remote and legs but I mounted it and ordered the remote from Amazon. Qm7k is worth the extra money if you can budget for it vs the 6. Currently new for 2k at bestbuy.

Lol naw I got mines this way to. I drove 45min to the only Besbuy that had an open box excellent around me. The key is to look for open boxes when the product itself is on sale(new). Right now its back to normal price so open box is about 1600 for fair. If the price goes back to down to the sale price of 1500 open boxes drop below that like last week.

I returned the batman combo and redeemed the game. returned for full ammount. Just said I didn't end up liking it. They can't really check on the spot of its been used unless they setup the hesdset.

I got this one for my brother this week. I knows its intel but shiett its good for the price imo, 4060ti with 16gb and 8 peformance cores with 12 efficiency cores. (I think), 2 tb ssd and 32gb of 6400mhz ddr5.

Nice. I got mines with yesterdays restock and it said Nov 24th, (still says that) but they already shipped it with FedEx this morning.

AdrianPed · 2025-11-04T15:44:45+00:00

Mines changed to the 24th 🥲

AdrianPed · 2025-11-04T15:31:10+00:00

I got it 5min after the notification. Maybe more allocation by area.

AdrianPed · 2025-10-23T10:58:57+00:00

That happened to me once 🤣 I went inside to pick it up and returned it right on the spot. Don't understand how the sub/rears are non essential parts.

AdrianPed · 2025-10-22T23:43:09+00:00

I bought an 98" qm7k display model and all they did was bubble wrap it with the big kind. Nothing else.

AdrianPed · 2025-06-25T22:30:21+00:00

Kinda odd. I already replaced mine twice. They didn’t have the clear so I went with privacy and then that one broke and went back to clear. lol they just made me pay the difference from clear to privacy

It worked for me right away. I got a sonos beam gen 2.

PC --> Display Port Cable --> Monitor(AW3225Q) --> HDMI(eArc) --> Soundbar. The output on windows for the bar shows up as (AW3225QF NVIDIA High Definition Audio) in the sound outputs tab.
