Just a little FYI... tigerdirect is notoriously bad with rebates.  I don't trust them at all anymore, and don't buy from them anymore.  There is a good chance all will go well, but there is also a pretty good chance you'll get a lot of crap, and thats just not worth it to me anymore, so I take my business elsewhere.

I'm not seeing where it says that...  Everything I'm reading says something about purchases before 7/18.  Am I just not seeing it?  I hope so, because this is one sweet deal if you ask me and I'd love to get at least one.

BTW, yes I know there's a limit on the rebates, but that's what parents, and their addresses are for...  ;)

One of the $20 rebates expired on the 9th.  However, I just checked back, and it's been replaced by another $20 rebate, so the net price is still the same.  Looks like you (& your parents address) have got more time!

As for whether it's a good purchase or not- as long as the mobo runs, it's good enough.  I'm not gonna be overclocking or running a server here, just emulating Pac-Man.  The case & it's cooling ability isn't a factor, since I'll be mounting the mobo directly to the cab, with no case.  

Plus, I'm getting it for free!  My wife saw the picture of the case, & she wants me to put her desktop machine inside it- I told her I could get her one for $20.00 ;D

Not to say you're lying, but are you sure this deal has the same power supply that you got with yours???  It doesn't say anything baout having outlets on the power supply, and there are pics that show a standard power supply with the spot for the power cord, the power switch, voltage switch, and a fan.  Like I said, not trying to call you a liar, but buyer beware, they like to stick cheaper components in package deals like these and make you think you're getting the same thing for a better price.

Rebates are too much of a pain to deal with unless they are an instant savings rebate.
