1. Does anyone have any experience with tiger direct rebates?

                                  .-.

NOBODY has ever said any nice words about Tiger.

I've used 735 boards extensively, not 635.  The integrated sound is a bit of 
a PITA, but newer systems are probably better than my old Slackwares were.  I 
just added on a $12 sound card because I didn't like the integrated sound 
anyway (of course, that was with a very old 735 board; I understand later ones 
were improved)

If you want a cheap offer, I'd reccomend the $40 special Fry's frequently 
runs.   Much better performance (Duron 1600, and it's out the door for less money 
than the pre-rebate price of this monstrosity (from what I heard, the 
processor is SOLDERED!).  Again, it may be an issue with sound from what I hear (I 
messed up my partitions pretty badly, and will reinstall when a 2.6 distro comes 
out, so I can't tell)
