Free is good, though you be wise to spend the extra $4.50 for the quicky rebate

Yes spend the 10% for the fast rebate
I got all 3 rebates in 5-10 days from the day I mailed them
(1-400w and 2-500w)
Maybe I'll grab one more...

I wish they'd stop this. Just lower the damn prices and lay off the rebates.

Rebates are a pain and unless the rebate is channel-wide (which they rarely are) it alienates the smaller VAR. Constantly offering rebates also cheapens the brand. If you always sell a $50 PSU for $10 after MIR, then the general consensus is that the PSU is just a $10 PSU.

rebates are also just a big pain generally too taking forever.

We don't get 'gimmicks' like that here in the UK.
The best offers sometimes is free shipping on selected items, otherwise all we have to do is search the online (trusted) sellers and pick the one with the cheapest price(s).
Mind you, I think prices in the USA are a lot cheaper (even without rebates) than they are over here....:(
