Can you consolidate all your threads into one? Most of your deals amount to applying PayPal rebate to various products on NewEgg and combining it with other offers. If I may suggest, name your thread something like "PayPal $50 rebate - various hot hardware deals". I don't think there's a need for a separate thread for each one.

LOL, you go tell that n00b!

Anyway, is that Antec juicy enough for a low-end Core2 CPU with a 8800GT or 3870? I have an old 400W PS, but I can't remember the details about calculating a PS's actual output from the 12V rails to see if it's good enough for a new rig.

I'd go for the 430.

Is the rebate a mail-in?

Yes it is and it will take about 3 months to get it.

It would probably work but with a 8800GT and to future proof a gaming rig I would invest in a larger power supply.

These are pretty quiet aren't they?

Because I just bought one for a media server.

Thanks for posting it

The 430W version is very quiet so the 380W should be as well.

No.

These are hot deals on their own right even without the extra Paypal bit.

Now you're going to have to edit all those threads

Except now we have to weed through them all since the paypal deal fell through, it would've been easier if they were all posted w/o the paypal discount OR consolidated into one thread of the discount is necessary to buy @ posted price.

It would be the same whether it included Paypal or not. IMO it is perfectly fine to post a hot deal on a single item. I did not go through and list everything that became a hot deal after the Paypal cashback, just items that were hot deals already... and a "Use Paypal for additional $$$ back."

Are you guys next going to complain about everybody posting $10 off Google Checkout deals from Buy.com, asking everyone to consolidate their postings? What about people posting all the other deals that can be consolidated, such as ebates and fatdollars or whatever?

I'll deal with it.

 

[konakona]

aww...
a classic case of "you snooze, you lose", what can I say.

at least this is still a hot deal sans the PP bs scam.

two of my antec rebates came in today, waiting in on another one.

I guess this will be my 4th for antec this year!

(damn I wanted that solo too dammit)

 

[imported_Bruin711]

Price just went up as I had it in my cart today. =(

 

[konakona]

bastards, I knew I had to do it yesterday
doubt you would ever see an EW sell for so low for a while...

I just needed it to replace my comparatively noisy SL300. A replacement fan it is then I guess

 

[crowmaine]

Not completely dead yet....

The $30 MIR is good through Nov 30th.
and must be postmarked by Jan 9, 2008.

Remember, something is better than nothing .

Deal is still alive. If you check the price on this page
http://www.newegg.com/Product/...58+50001516&name=Antec

It is listed at $59.99 with $15 savings for a total of $44.99. However, when you add it to your cart or view the actual product page it shows up as $59.99. I just chatted with a rep and ordered it at $59.99 and the rep took off the $15 so I paid the advertised $44.99 and still get the rebate to bring it down to $15 total with free shipping

Here is my chat:
Me: Hi. I am looking to buy an Antec earthwatts EA380 PSU and the price listed on your website states that it is $59.99 with $15 savings for a price of $44.99
Me: however, when I add it to my cart, the price is $59.99 with no savings
Me: if you look on this page, the item is priced at $44.99 - http://www.newegg.com/Product/...58+50001516&name=Antec
Thomas: Okay if you want to place the order you can. If you use a credit card I will take off the 15 dollars manually as soon as you have your order number, you may stay connected with me on this chat while you do so.
Me: ok, I will order and stay on the chat with you and give you my order number when I get it
Thomas: Thank you , standing by.
Me: My order number is ********
Thomas: Okay your new total is 44.99
Me: ok, thank you very much
Thomas: Do you have any other questions, or is there anything else I can assist you with today?
Me: No, that was it. Thank you again.
Thomas: Thank you for contacting us. I hope you have an Eggcellent day!

Thanks, luckysnafu!
Similar deal for Antec Solo Blk/Sil ATX Mid Tower Case Now $10 +S/H AR *alive after talking to CSR* .
Case references at my thread there.
Thanks again!

 

[Denithor]

Can anyone clarify the "aborted PayPal" deal for me? I bought an LCD monitor, paid with PP, and am counting on that refund to go through for a good price. (Otherwise it was a lousy price.)

Just want to make sure they didn't cancel the deal altogether.

 

[Terzo]

lucky, I tried the same thing, but the rep looked into and said the correct price is 54.99.

On a side note, it's now $54.99, rather than $59.99. I'm gonna jump on it before they screw with the price anymore.

 

[crowmaine]

Price dropped $5. New price $25 AR.
Act quick, as the MIR ends Friday, Nov 30 (midnight)!

 

[crowmaine]

Bump Last day for $30MIR, Nov 30, 2007

Price dropped another $5

New price: $20AR

 

[Engineer]

New rebate - December 12th.

 

[Lanyap]

$20 AR with free shipping is still a nice price. The 250W PSU in my old Dell 4600 went bad last week due to bad caps. I replaced it with an older model 300W Antec and the caps fizzled (hissing and smoke :Q ) within a minute of turning it on. This would be a nice high quality replacement.
