My general opinion on rebates is they are a pain, and I've had
difficulty getting them honored at times too.  The last LCD monitor I
bought had some stupid 10 day rebate which they counted from the date I
purchased the monitor online.  They then claimed it arrived on day 11 or
13 or something, when I sent it right away and it should have arrived in
time.

I ended up having to call the manufacturer and get ahold of who was in
charge of highering the rebate company.  Even then it still took several
months to get the rebate and several long calls waiting on hold.

IMO, if your fairly busy otherwise it might be effectively cheaper to
just go to newegg's site and get one...
