Great Card / Not so good rebate

EVGA GeForce GTS 250 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-1140-TR
EVGA GeForce GTS 250 512MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 SLI Support Graphics Card 512-P3-1140-TR

Pros: Bought two for SLI, so far installed just one. Replacing my two 9500gt's in SLI. Windows 7 bumped the performance score from 6.6 to 6.9 with just this one installed! Can hardly wait to install the second.

Cons: Unfortunately, the rebate was not so good. When I purchased these cards(8.2.2010) it was advertised with a rebate. I thought cool. But the rebate apparently didn't go into effect until 8.3.2010. And my invoice purch. date showed the the 2nd. My rebate was rejected and I'm out 30 bucks each. A bit dissappointed. Also, the rebate is in the form of gift cards and according to the conditions only one rebate allowed per person via hosehold. So if you buy two for SLI, you might only get one. Not to mention you have to jump thru alot of hoops.

Overall Review: Have purchased most at Newegg and been pretty satisfied. Good store with good product. My system: Asus P7P55D EVO mobo,Arctic Frezzer Pro Cpu cooler, Intel I7 860 2.8ghz (stock),Kingston HyperX 2gb(x2)1333 ram,Creative Xfi Extreme Audio, Sony DVD Rom, Memorex DVD Burn w/ lightscribe, Seagate 250gb HDD (2x), One running XP Pro 64 and the other running Windows 7 Pro 64. All in a 20 year old Rosewill case.(Refitted/upgraded fan cooling). Vizio 37" lcd tv, via HDMI and audio using 11year old Technics reciever with 6 channel surround, JBL theater speaker set.
