    If you do rebates read this. Rebate house defaulting on checks.

    An update My rebate was also affected by the CPG debacle. Of course, they did not do anything else after receiving my rebate submission. I was pretty patient and I waited till the 12 weeks before contacting BFG directly. I attached my rebate submission to them and within a week, they issue me a...

    If you do rebates read this. Rebate house defaulting on checks.

    ok. I just got a email notification from rebatestatus that my BFG rebate submission was received (weird coz I sent out the rebate in October and it takes 2 months??). The expected mail date for the check is in Feb'09. What should I do when I receive the check? Notify BFG to swap the check??

    Clevo vs Compal?

    sager --> clevo. They are one of the main distributors for Clevo notebooks. They are pretty much more catered towards the high performance /desktop replacement market. I'd go with Clevo if I am not tied to a low budget.

    4gb on Gigabyte DS3L or G33

    G33-S2 is a m-ATX board so if thats what you need its a fine board. If you don't need a m-ATX mobo, go with the P35-DS3L or DS3R (for RAID and more HDs/Optical Drive in the future). No experience with 4gb RAM but I think there are number of people here that uses the P35-DS* with 4gb of ram...

    ~~~~ Rebate Tracking Thread ~~~~

    MadScientist : It takes almost 6 weeks. I mailed out my rebate 3rd week of August and I get to see the status on that website last week. From then on, at least another 3-6 weeks for the check to send out, so I guess the entire timeline actually takes more than 9 weeks.

    changing CPU only - leaving the rest unchanged

    I managed to be able to sell off the cpu at a great price. Got the e6550 for a great price as well. So the net effect is I save some money here and there. I downgraded some of my other parts as well. Trying to save up for a HDTV at the end of the year.

    Do anyone know how to track MSI rebates?? Unlike some others, they don't have a website where I can track the rebate. They don't list any phone numbers as well. Seems like the rebate is processed by themselves, from the look of the address I send it to.
