Crazy Barebone

[Drunkentig3r]

Just ordered mine today-Going to be a belated birthday gift to my dad

Specs:

ASUS A8N-SLI Socket 939 Motherboard
AMD Athlon 64 3500+ CPU Socket 939 (Clawhammer core)
Maxtor 160GB 7200RPM SATA Hard Drive (refurbished by Tigerdirect)
Lite-On 16X Dual Layer DVD+-RW DVD Burner
Ultra PC3200 DDR Memory (400 Mhz)
Masscool CPU Cooling fan
Ultra 500 Watt X-Finity Power Supply
Ultra 120mm case fan
Ultra Wizard Mid-Tower ATX case


All that for only $350? Sounds like a great deal to me.

Yeah that's a huge rebate and it's from TD... so you're not getting it.

 

[Drunkentig3r]

Wait...why not? I got rebates from Tigerdirect before.

Lies, TigerDirect is famous for not sending out rebate checks

 

[Keyone]

There's 6 rebates.

 

[wazzledoozle]

I have never, and will never buy from Tigerdirect after my best buddy got screwed in the form of $300 worth of rebates on his PC.

Would of been nice if the rebates weren't from TD.

TD is really, really notorious for their rebates. They always have really good deals that involve rebates and they always end up with stories of how a lot of people never end up getting their rebates.

They'll try to reject the first time due to some outrageous reasons or they simply ignore the mail. Then when you try to resubmit, it goes to the infamous Miami address and they will say they never received it and you have passed your resubmission deadline of 30 days. It happened to me twice, last year once and just yesterday. Too dumb to bite again I guess.

If it happens once, shame on them; if it happens twice, shame on you!

Good call. This thread lasted ~3 minutes.

OP, let us know in a few months what happens with the rebates. I hope that it all works out, but I'd be very surprised.

 

[Flatbroke]

Besides, this is a repost. .

Just took 1 day for that thread to die out, for lack of trust of Tiger Direct.

Keeping looking for hot deals for us OP, but this one had been already discussed.

Since you're getting this, might I suggest you look for a cheap HD to use as your C:\ drive, and use the "re-furbed" Maxtor HD as a slave drive. That way your Operating Sytem is on a separate drive, and games, whatnot, on the Maxtor.

 

[CrapHead]

That is a lot of rebates, but still a decent deal. In the past, I have received all rebates from TD that I submitted.

 

[InlineFour]

i read the title as "crazybone". good times.

They've done a good job of cleaning up their act, though.

AFAIK, it's been years since they've had mass shaftings on rebates.

 

[dhkkim]

i hate TD. its not good deal. red for you.

 

[lazarus000]

isn't it about time for tigerdirect to get into trouble about the rebates?

 

[nomadh]

Anyone ever send the rebates with a delivery reciept confirmation. Cost a few bucks extra but just imagine how much you and your lawyer will make when they claim you didn't send it.

 

[ReMb]

I got that Logitech G7 Cordless mouse that was sold through Amazon.com by TigerDirect, and it came with a rebate and I got it. It was like a $50 or $30 rebate I think.

Good luck with that...
