What is it with mail-in rebates? On pcpartpicker, it says the total of my PC is about $1350.(subtracting the mail-in rebates) so do I pay the $1350 and do the mail in rebates? I'm am very confused. Can someone please give me a detailed explanation. This in the link to the PC

You pay up front. Then when the stuff comes in you make copies and whatever the rebate instructions are and pray you actually get the money. I bought a new laptop years ago and sent in a $50 rebate only to have it rejected. They said the computer S/N was already used. (IE I was sold a used computer as new)
Be careful to copy exactly the directions for the rebates and you may get them.

I would just ignore mail in rebates altogther. Very rarely have I actually managed to get one before and they're not worth the hassle and worry.

But yes you would first pay the full price and then later send a rebate to the manufacturer (which by the time your product is usually in your hands, your rebate has expired) and if it gets there in time then you'll get like $20 back. Yay.
