i know office max and office depot often has them for free after rebate, but not recently. anyone know a store i can walk in to and buy for free after rebate? cuz if i buy online, the shipping is more than the thing itself

go to your local shop and buy a box of straws
then blow into one of the straws with your mouth directing the muzzle of the straw inside your case

problem solved :)

hard to believe, but yes it did. my 500 wat psu i got after sellin my crappy speakers to my friend for $30. the radeon 9600 i got for $70, and that'll be free after i sell my old gfx and my old psu. the dvd rom and cd-rw i paid a total of $20 last year on black friday, 2002. my wd 30 gig was from my old pc. now that i got the 120 gb for 20, that'll add 20 to my 646. the rounded cables i have i got for free after rebate at micro center. i'm a "bargain looker-outer" as walmart calls it. lol

Based on that response I guess you didn&#39;t read my post, abu.

a rebate is a discount, just you have to mail the upc from the box(the thing w/ lines and numers),a copy of your recipet, and the rebate reciept and they mail you however much the rebate is worth

ie:i buy 128mb of memory for 50 bucks,it says there is a rebate for 50 bucks too so then i mail the upc from that,the reciept,and the rebate reciept and in 8-10 weeks they mail me 50 bucks

got it?

Your reasoning is faulty here, Abu.

To be accurate, you have to add in the cost of all the parts you are selling off to finance your new purchases.
Just because you have them onhand doesn&#39;t mean that they were free to begin with...

well, if u really have to get into the specifics. yes. i did pay some &#036; for shpping. and also i paid for my old pc. but that doesn&#39;t really count on how much this pc costs me
