    ANTEC 900 gamers case @ FRYS.com 59.99

    I got the backorder email. I ordered before the rebate expired. If it does ship on 3-01-07. The rebate has to be postmarked by 03-22-07. Is there any way they will honor the rebate, or does the invoice(Iguess what I use as the receipt) show the wrong date to get the rebate? Thanks in advance.

    Which AGP vidcard for HTPC + Oblivion?

    Forgive me, I've been out of the loop for awhile. Is it because the CPU is a little weak that I should get the "7600 GS for $100-120 or 7600 GT for $145 (after $30 MIR) instead.
