[CUBE] eBay auctions

[Keys]

I bought both a Cube motherboard and case/chassis from DealExpress that were
advertised as NEW.  I had read a few feedbacks about damaged cases and
really just wanted the new motherboard to repair my cube. But the case I got
was in really bad shape and I could  deal with that, but the MB I got was a
used and dirty and was missing the ethernet card. They would not exchange
the used MB for a new one as was promised in their ad or ship me the missing
ethernet card. I must say that the used MB is working so far but I do not
have the new Apple warranty that was promised on it. I paid a large sum of
money for what was to have been a NEW MB with a factory  warranty on it. For
a few more dollars I could have purchased a used Cube system off of eBay and
had a complete working system.
