white box
Computer goods sold without any added extras (i.e. packaging, unnecessary software, etc.), thus making them less expensive.
More commonly referred to as O.E.M. (original equipment manufacturer). White box goods generally do not carry factory warranties. Rather, the seller offers a brief period for exchange or return.
