ZZF newsletter: Corsair VX450 $45 ($30MIR) 9800GT $100+SH ($20MIR) Coolermaster Case

Listed in order of hotness (imo :p)

Corsair VX450 PSU. 75.99 - $30 MIR = 45.99 FREE S&H

Great PSU that, despite our love of high power PSUs, could realistically run most single-card single-HD systems out there.
Better deal from buy.com VX450 for $40 after MIR, free shipping, or 2nd day express shipping for $5 = $45.48

XFX 9800GT. 129.99 - $10 coupon code -$20 MIR = 99.99+S&H
Coupon code SDL9177. You might need to be a newsletter subscriber to use the code.

Looks like it has a bit of a weak cooler but in reality the 8800GT/9800GT heatsinks aren't 'full coverage' under the hood anyway I believe.

Coolermaster Elite 330 case 39.99 -$10 MIR = 29.99+S&H

S&H hurts this deal but the case is pretty good for a budget case. I have one of these for a server, chosen because it has decent cooling and lots of HD spaces for a mid-tower, just be sure to have a 120mm fan for front intake. The materials are thin/cheap but that's why the case is cheap, otherwise build quality is good and good filtering across the front panel.

hmm how is corsair with their rebates? my HTPC desperatly needs a new 12v rail biased psu.... running it off an older 5v biased 350w enermax psu....
 
I must say the VX450 is a good deal. solid 12v rail on that one, worth more than some 500W+. Oh I did bunch RAM based corsair rebates got everyone so far.
 
I had a $40 rebate on some Corsair memory, sent the rebate a few days before Christmas, waited a while, it showed as received on the status website, a while later no check, so I called, they said it was denied because it was postmarked after the expiration period. They said it was postmarked mid-January, I know I mailed it before Christmas though. I told the rep that, and they said 'no problemo, your check is in the mail' and I got it a few days later.. Not horrible.
