Combine it with the 7600gt and you get a $30 discount making the card ~$40AR.

That's pretty hot! Must resist... *looks in garage at all the "spare" graphics cards and PSUs* Okay, I resisted.

Now that the stock market is tanking, putting your money in computer hardware looks like a good idea! Nice deal on the Earthwatts, btw.

Sweet deal--Had my eyes on that PSU already and the extra $10 will make me pull the trigger. Thanks OP.

Looks like the total price AR for the EA500 and 7600GT would be $85 + shipping. :Q

$80 EA500
-$30 MIR
-10 coupon code
$0 shipping

$85 7600GT
-$20 MIR
-$30 combo discount
$6 shipping

I added it up a second time and still get $81, including all discounts, rebates, coupons and shipping.

 

[straubs]

My estimates were of the quick and dirty variety so you're probably right.

I coudnt get the $10 discount to stack with the combo discount. How are you guys doing that ?

You're right.
"Promotional code discount can not be combined with combo or gift item on same order."

Questions... Running this or the Cooler Master Pro 650, which would be better? Gonna put this in a antec 900 case and running a E8400 and 8800gt

The cooler master pro is 50 ar and this is around 35 ar...

Do I have to use a code to get the combo discount to show up in my cart?

 

[GullyFoyle]

In for one. The newsletter promo code worked fine for me. Thanks OP!

 

[v8envy]

In for one as well. I think of it as a $35 'I won't be minus a machine if my PSU blows' policy.

For the combo, near the promo code box, the text reads "Promotional code discount can not be combined with combo or gift item on same order." Despite this, the $15 discount is still being applied.

Also, on $85 vs $81, this difference could be from sales tax.

Combo: $134.98
Shipping: $5.84
Tax: $8.70 (CA)

-$15 promo
-$20 MIR
-$30 MIR

Total w/ tax: $84.52
Total w/o tax: $75.82

7600GT ends up being $49.53 (CA) or $40.83

argh...I wanted a video card for a new system too...problem is I only decided to get a new system after buying that Antec Sonata III that came with this same PSU.
I bought it just for the PSU but then decided I might as well build another rig since I have a new case. (already have another PSU)
Argh...am tempted to buy another one of these for no reason lol.

I just called them and they were very quick to give me a "one-time exception" and refund the $15 difference.

FYI: I ordered the unit 1/17 and received it 1/21 (the day before the promo)

I think my 1 year old Ultra 500W PS is hitting the fan, it was 135 degrees at the case earlier today when it froze the computer....

I got one to replace an older antec like a month ago. Loves it! so small too.
