I need to find a decent LOW-prices power supply

[pdizzle]

Hey I was originally looking at a corsair cx430 but the mail in rebate is gone and theres no way it would get ther eintime it expires tommorow. SO anyways can you help me pick out a power supply that is from a good brand name is 500w or under nothing below 430 though. And DOES NOT HAVE A MAIL IN REBATE. THanx

Hello pdizzle;

It's the Purchase date that matters. Order it today and you get the $8 off promo plus the $20 rebate card.

The CX430 V2 is consistently one of the best low priced PSUs you will find. The $8 promo code is done immediately at check out so it will get there immediately making it only $37 before rebate. For a low power system i don't know of any better options.

You'll have up to March 26th to submit the rebate paperwork:

Ok I hope the rebate works I;m counting on it I just bought the corsair and it's a fine product too thanx everyone

 

[hunter315]

Even if that rebate does "expire" tomorrow, im willing to bet that its just going to get another one. The 430CX V2 has had at least a $10 rebate on it since january, the $20 one may have just been for this week, but next week will have a similar one.

I printed out the mail in rebate and my purchase thing from newegg so I got it for 16.99 (I hope) because I mailed the rebate but no sure when I'll get it if I get it...

 

[WR2]

Did you get the PSU yet?
One of the requirements was to include the original UPC code off the box.

 

[pdizzle]

Umm No I ordered Like you guys said and printed out the newegg Proof of purchase and went to corsair and filled out a form and mailed that all in one envelope. i hope I did it correctly

 

[pdizzle]

Did I do it wrong I went to corsair filled out al the stuff and printed it out two copies while the rebate was still in effect. and before that I bought the power upply from newegg and printed the proof of purchase and mailed that with the rebate to corsair I sent it out today. WIll it not go through is it not valid? how can I find out I really need that rebate.

Right now the deal changed to this.

Did you include the UPC code like mentioned in step #4 of the rebate guide? (see the image above).

 

[WR2]

WIll it not go through is it not valid? how can I find out I really need that rebate.

It doesn't matter what the PSU has today.

What matters - is did you fill out the rebate application exactly as it says?
I don't see how it's possible you did that without first getting the PSU.

 

[pdizzle]

Umm no where can I find this upc code cause actually I haven't sent it in the mail yet.
Is it in the email newegg sent me about purchase?

 

[WR2]

Don't send it TILL you get the PSU and find the UPC code.

--> Read #4 in that image above.

 

[WR2]

Product packaging ...... that would be the box the PSU comes in.

 

[pdizzle]

OH I see I have to wait for the product to arrive get the UPC code and mail it Right when I get it cause I already printed out the form so I'm covered until march 26th. The corsair product will be here tomorrow or Wednesday

 

[WR2]

The UPC code is in the lower left - it's the bar coded product label.

 

[pdizzle]

Product packaging ...... that would be the box the PSU comes in.

I know that it will be here tomorrow so I just ge the UPC code off of it and mail the rebate form and if it gets there by march 26th I'm covered right?

 

[WR2]

I think it's actually the small label - but cut out and mail in that whole lower corner.

 

[WR2]

You're covered as long as the outbound mail is POSTMARKED by March 26th.

 

[pdizzle]

Got it and I'll take it to the post office the minute i get the corsair product haha thanx you've been a great help WR2

 

[WR2]

It's more important that you follow the instructions than it is to hurry.
Don't give them any chance to deny the rebate because you didn't follow the guidelines.

If you have any questions you will have time to ask them.

 

[pdizzle]

Ok I will follow the instructions thanx WR2 btw do you k ow of a good motherboard I can buy for 20-30$?
