Deal Details
YMMV: Open box, in-store only at Micro Center Santa Clara. The $90.96 unit is listed as INCOMPLETE: AS IS (unit ID 18408), first come first served. A second open box unit is listed at $98.96, also INCOMPLETE: AS IS (unit ID 21971).
IN-STORE ONLY: Shipping is not available for this item. Stock shown for the Santa Clara store on Nov 3, 2026: 2 open box units from $90.96, and 25+ new units at $164.99.
Street price is about $164.99 at Micro Center for a new board (Newegg lists it new at $195.77), so this saves about $74.03 versus the lowest new street price.
Open box risk note: Because the unit is incomplete and sold as-is, check the CPU socket pins and all accessories in store before you buy, and confirm the return policy at the register. The new retail package normally includes the motherboard, 2 SATA cables, the WiFi antenna, an M.2 rubber package and M.2 screw and standoff packages, and any of these may be missing. Micro Center lists remaining manufacturer warranty applies for these open box units, and its site notes motherboards may be returned within 15 days of purchase, but verify how that applies to an as-is open box unit before paying.
Specs (Micro Center SKU 863936, Mfr Part B65EMAXGMWF):
ASUS B650E MAX GAMING WIFI, AMD B650E chipset, Socket AM5, ATX
Supports AMD Ryzen 9000, 8000 and 7000 series desktop processors
