What is up with NewEgg? They are becoming incredibly penny-pinching. They should be giving these away with every order. And $4 S&H ??? I don't think so.

This is definately something NewEgg should put in the box for free when they ship your order.

Sticker on case is kinda nice but not some company name (Intel or AMD included)
Mine has a warning sticker that says "Time Waster" in the middle and "Ouch!" right next to reset button.

I think they're trying to cash in on the almost reverential feelings people have for them (which I've never understood).

Pay for a Newegg sticker for my case, sheesh . . . stinks of arrogance and presumptiveness.

BUT...it's the cool thing to doooo....you're computer is just another computer unless you have a Newegg badge! Your computer is a nobody unless you have that cool badge then it can join the 'IN CROWD' ;)

the shipping was $6, but still, they should send these out with First class mail or something and maybe charge $1 shipping.

I saw a post about this a couple of weeks ago, so when I ordered a new mobo last week I added one to my cart--sure enough, the sticker plus another $4.00 shipping added right onto the previous $144.00 price tag. I let it stay there about 1.2 seconds, my reaction time prolonged by sheer amazement.

Still, I bet this is an oversight, and that if you called and talked to a human being they'd toss it in with an order without the additional shipping fee. Anybody wanna test my hypothesis? ;)

The NVidia case sticker looks better for .99 cents imho . I think it gets free shipping if you buy a case last time I looked.

<< Heres a butt load of badges.Link
I was actually hoping to find an AnandTech one, but no good

There's a thread going in the Distributed Computing forum where we were going to group buy a whole bunch of them....AT asked us not to do it....I believe they're going to start selling badges themselves.

Non-authorized people were going to make AT badges and sell them? Even if I weren't going to do my own case badges, no way I would let my trademark get diluted. That would be crazy if AT DIDN'T stop that kind of behavior.
