I didn't see a limit on either the PSU or the case, but you'll only be able to claim one rebate for each.

And if you paid via PayPal, you got an extra 20% off the invoice automatically credited to your PayPal account in January.
That brings the price down to the $5.00 range--hard to believe--they are almost paying us!

Is that PayPal deal for everything you buy?

You have to subscribe to Newegg's promotional emails. They often offer short-term deals to the subscribers--and they check to make sure you're on the list when you order.
It's a good idea to subscribe if you don't mind an email or two per week. I have mine sent to a throwaway Hotmail address.

Hey I get their ads, and I did not notice this. I will have to pay attention much better than before.
After reading it closely several times I noted it says "Up to 20%". IE, they are now about to take $54 off the price of an Intel Q6600 that currently may sell for $270.
In the past they once did free shipping. Had they done that again I would have considered a case or an UPS.
Thanks anyways.
Added - I made a purchase and got 5 rebates, either that's good or I've made my life a living hell.

I thought Fortron Zen for 34.99$ was a much better deal.

It may be, in most cases--but for about $5.00 after rebate and PayPal discount, plus free shipping, the Earthwatts 380 is a very worthwhile deal.
