I picked up the EVGA SSC 1050TI with two fans at Bestbuy last weekend, they price matched the Newegg price of 149.99, and newegg had a -$20.00 instant code taking the price down to 129.99, I don't know how loud the single fan version is, but the 2 fan is dead silent, and runs at about 65c full load. Nice little backup card.
Quick edit, Newegg has it for 129.99 + a $10 MIR, effectively making it 119.99, I think that is a better deal than the single fan @ $115.00

Are you saying BB matches prices "with promo codes"? I'd never given that any thought, but that would be good to know in general...

I'm not 100% sure, I didn't get any grief over the price match, even though the PN is one of those stupid proprietary Evga and BB deals.

OK, I guess it's worth trying if it comes up. (Given the choice, I prefer to buy electronics locally unless the sales tax would be really high, just for the potential benefit of an easier return, if necessary. And this case, BB is very good about returns in general, which is always a plus.)

It seems like they should honor it, since it's not being called even an "instant" rebate, nor is it a "special offer" for a limited audience, but I've always basically assumed that most places will be persnickety about matching anything but a flat-out "this-here-number-is-the-price price"...

Card arrived this weekend, haven't had time yet to install. I actually wanted the single fan model as it's a shorter card to fit into a tiny HTPC case. I'll update (likely tomorrow) with comment on how quiet (or not) the card is.
