ANTEC P180 @ Retail?

trance · Post by **trance** » Wed Jul 20, 2005 4:35 pm

Anyone able to find an Antec P180 at any of these retail stores:
Circuity City
BestBuy
CompUSA

I ordered mine from ZipZOomFly but it will arrive next week. Far later then the rest of my other parts will come in. I was planning on buying one at retail then returning it once I get the case from ZipZoomFly.

I found a stack of them at my local Fry's today, much to my surprise.

I took one home with me.

It even came with a $30 rebate! Best price I've found and I have it now.

Sounds like a lot of work, installing and then uninstalling all your parts, and then lugging it back to the store, making them return it, then having to resell it as used, just because you can't wait a week....

I've seen 'em at two of my local Frys this week for $159.95. No mention of a rebate though.

They mention it on outpost.com (Frys mail order arm)..

CompUSA will be carrying the P180 soon.

Mystr_Byrnz · Post by **Mystr_Byrnz** » Thu Jul 21, 2005 9:22 am

yeah. $159.99 and $30 mail in rebate. No mention of the rebate in the store, but the salesman told me about it when he rang it up.

The rebate form they gave is the one for the outpost.com, so I guess they're honoring it online as well as in the stores.

I'm so glad I bought it from the Fry's right down the street as opposed to online. When I got it home and checked it out, the latch for the bottom intake hole door was not working. It wouldn't hold the door shut. Much easier to take it ten minutes down the road than having to deal with RMA stuff.

No word of a P180 here yet, our internal system shows no sign of it in my Elk Grove, CA store 349. I'll check again when I go to work today.

The sales people at Fry's are, to put it mildly, not the best in the business, though there has been exceptions of course (I notice they tend to leave quickly though). Make sure it's not a rebate for a P160 that you have.

Edit: tried to check the rebate form on outpost, link is broken.

I had to ask 5 guys at fry's if a dual rail power supply would work with my athlon 64. And the one guy who answered my question was wrong.

I also bought an ABIT microATX board for a friend. Sticker price: $59.99. When the guy was printing out an invoice, he mistyped the SKU number. I walked out of the store paying $12.99 + tax = $14.06

Well, I wanted to take the case from the retail and just give them back the one with from ZipZoomFly (when I get it). I don't know if the retail will check the case itself to see if its the same one though...?

Arrgh, I'm just going to put it temporary in my brother's Antec case...
