Taiwanese manufacturer MSI has warned its customers to be on the
guard against anyone offering low-cost MSI-branded graphics cards -
the products may be stolen goods. According to the company, a stack
of Nvidia GeForce 7900 GS-based graphics cards nabbed in transit
have begun appearing on online auction sites around the
world.
MSI said the card in question is kitted out in standard Nvidia
green, bears the Nvidia logo and is fitted with a different fan
design than the standard, red-coloured version the company ships to
its channel partners.
Here's a piccy of the allegedly pilfered part:
MSI warned consumers not to buy the green board, which it said
would not be covered by the company's warranty scheme. It also
asked any who has purchased such a product to contact the
company

with details of when and where it was bought.
MSI said it has reported the theft to local police.
