    Oh sorry, I forgot you can't order from Newegg. In that case, consider this PSU. It's cheaper after rebate than the PC Power & Cooling unit and provides about 35A on the +12V rails combined, compared to the Silencer 470's 26A. I think it's a great deal and from my experience with OCZ, they honor their rebates.

    because zipzoomfly charges 10$ or more in shipping and NEWEGG charges me shipping and TAX. which for a little fan like that total in all would be including tax and shipping 20$+ So you see? thanks though
  10. captaincranky TechSpot Addict Posts: 8,802   +287

    The tax on that fan would be $0.84 cents. The total came to $18.82. I couldn't find Tiger Direct's shipping rate without actually buying the fan in your link. It does suck that Newegg has a warehouse in TN, but on the bright side, everything in your order might be overnight delivery, @ UPS ground rate.

    It works out that way for me in Philly, but Newegg's warehouse is in North Jersey, and I don't get hit with the tax. I feel you on that one, since I always drive my motorcycle to Delaware to do their tax free shopping thing. I've hauled some pretty big boxes back, an Epson 13 X 19" printer comes to mind. The break even point, with current gas prices (@40 MPG) is about $70.00 total purchase

    Oh and its free shipping on all of that! Horray! Tax is 13.22 and only 4 dollars more that at tigerdirect with S&H(on original idea).
    So what do you think?? Thanks!!
  13. Obi-Wan Jerkobi TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 592

    Nice finds! Just note that the Mobo just comes with the Mobo itself, no accessories, just mobo and drivers.

    what bout the instruction book and cd?
  15. Obi-Wan Jerkobi TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 592

    Yeah, It comes with instructions and drivers too. It wouldn't be practical if it was just the board and nothing else, not even a box lol.
  16. larryiam Newcomer, in training Posts: 577

    well that all i need then i have everything else. Hopefully!! lol as we kno......
  17. captaincranky TechSpot Addict Posts: 8,802   +287

    Beware of Greeks Bearing Gifts.........

    The manual and drivers for your board would/will be available for download anyway. The only thing you probably wouldn't be able to obtain might be the "value added" software. Sometimes that's for the best though, I mean really, who actually needs a 30 day free trial of Norton AV?
  18. larryiam Newcomer, in training Posts: 577

    i kno what your saying and i agree captian!
  19. Obi-Wan Jerkobi TechSpot Enthusiast Posts: 592

    lol the only time I would ever use a free trial of Norton is if I knew my pc would die after 30 days. :p
  20. larryiam Newcomer, in training Posts: 577

    then maybe but just maybe! lol
