nVidia 8800GT 512 Deal

For those of you with a Microcenter nearby, for the rest of this month they have EVGA nVidia 8800GT 512MB cards for $219.99 in store. No rebates, no catch. The "Superclocked" version is just $10 more.

I've been watching the GT's prices, and this is the lowest I've seen. No one else comes close.

If there's not a Microcenter nearby, they have them available on their site plus about 6 bucks shipping.

Just a heads up for those looking to get this great card.

    That's...that's Canadian monies.

    edit: I see their US site has similar pricing. Mail-in rebates are a pain but those are still good deals.

    I was about to say, "Man, that's CAD? It must be even cheaper in USD!"

    Then I remembered a Canadian buck is now worth more than a US greenback. :(

    After working in certain sectors for as long as I did, I do not factor in a mail in rebate as part of the price, but that's just me personally. Other people probably like them, and that's a better deal in that case.

    Also, I like eVga, but that is also a personal preference.

    Never ever count mail-in rebates as a discount on the price. You're assuming you actually get and deposit the rebate check 6 months in the future after you meticulously peel off the UPC and stick it in a godforsaken envelope along with some long form and a purchase order.

    I always get my MIRs.

    It's just a matter of documenting everything before you fire it off. I find a photo with everything laid out that will go into the envelope works wonders.

    Then of course follow up after a bit and make sure you get it.

    Yes they're annoying as hell and should be done away with forever.
