how much your rigs worth?

Re: how much your rigs worth?

Yea, but seeing as electronic items are usually price elastic, one would rather go for the cheaper item rather than waiting for the rebate to come through.
But i see where your coming from. I wonder why they haven't tried it here yet.

On the topic of the US of A, Antec just shipped me a new 120mm Tricool fan all the way from sunny Cali. My complaint? The two fans at the front are slightly different shades of blue. Cost them $15 :)

Re: how much your rigs worth?

You buy something that has a rebate, you get it home and cut off the barcode on the box it shipped in, fill out the rebate for, attach a copy of the receipt showing you bought the item and then they send you a check in 6-8 weeks.

Well, curiosity got the best of me, so heres a full pricelist (what I paid when I bought the item)

Yep, even 1 ultra is complete overkill for a monitor that is that small.
