Good deal for a pair of 450s?

[kjr]

This is the deal I'm talking about.

I remember reading that if you could get 450s for around a $100 per card that was good, so I just wanted to confirm that before any purchase took place.

Also, the seemingly only downer is those mail-in-rebates. Anyone have experience with MSI and rebates? I've never used their products before.

For that price you could just get one Good GTX460 and overclock that instead plus you can go sli later down the road instead of having to replace two cards for a later upgrade. I am learned the hard way a few times.

Yeah, just get a GTX 460 1gb and save SLI for an upgrade path.

The two GTS450 cards will be faster then the GTX460 however. If you have the SLI setup already including PSU then you might want to. No idea about the rebates, so figure its more like $250 for the pair. If you get them great, but don't count on it.

I'd also double check that you can get both rebates. Most are 1 per person/household. Make sure you read the fine print carefully.
