Review for user buschman31 from gillbot

    Traded my Asrock G31 motherboard for his P4M900T-M2, Case and heatsink.

    Cross-traded on September 12, 2011 ArsTechnica

    Initial trade went smooth, sans the slow shipping on his part but he just wanted to be sure it was packed well.

    Upon arrival, I tried numerous CPU and ram combinations including parts from the official "supported list" to get this motherboard working. After much frustration I contacted him to see what chip he used in this system, only to be informed "I never got it to work". This statement was very disheartening to me because I would hope one wouldn't knowingly sell or trade off untested or non-working parts without at least disclosing that up front. In the end, we swapped motherboards back and I sent him some ram for the case and heatsink. Had I known this board was basically untested up front, I most likely would have not went through with this deal. Since he did make good on everything though, I still have to give him a positive rating since he stepped up and made it all right.
