UPDATE ON TV TUNER
I got a reply from Monarch, The MCE version of the tv tuner will be up shortly to match the MIR form. Anyone who ordered the xp version of tv tuner will be entitled to the MIR. (limited to those who ordered this up to this morning; which means you cannot get in at this point)

Same rebate form for both items, goes to rebateshq.com and limit of one of EACH per household.

Purty damn hot. Visiontek cards have a lifetime warranty (of course, Visiontek has gone bankrupt once, so take that with a grain of salt).

Cool. I've been interested in buying a TV Tuner. Think I'll go with this one.

Thanks!

Would the x850xt be enough of an upgrade from an x800se, or should I spend the extra $100 and get an x1800xt? As far as I can find out the x800se I have was only sold though dell, and I can't find any benchmarks for it compared to the standard x800 to find out.

If you can spend another $100 on the X1800XT, I'd say go for that.

With that said, this is a smoking good deal for $139AR, plus there is no tax for California buyers! :p

The X850XT will be a huge improvement over the X800SE. I would get the X850XT and then save for an X1900XT rather than purchase an X1800XT for $100 more.

and the TV tuner works with ORB ... sweet!!!!

Edit: This appears to be the Pro version not the MCE, so no remote & receiver.

I already have a X850XT (non-crossfire) in the PC I just built;)

The proper tv tuner listing should be up soon.

There was some confusion between xp/mce version.

Does anyone have a copy of the rebate that was provided on the 25th? The rebate they list now is only valid 5-26 through 6-9 and I made my purchase on the 25th.
