Ive been waiting for the 74gb Raptors to go on sale for a couple months, as soon as they hit $120 after rebate im going to scoop up 3 of them.

I ordered mine about 3 weeks ago from Newegg. It was $161-$10 instant (with promo code)-$20 MIR=$131. On top of that, you get a free subscription to some computer mag, but apparently they are required by law to offer you a rebate in the amount of the subscription cost if you don't want the mag, so I get another $20 rebate for that. Overall, that comes out to $111 if I had just ordered the Raptor. I assume you get the $20 for the mag if you just get the Raptor, but maybe there was a certain amount that I had to spend to get that. I ordered parts for an entire computer, so I can't say for sure. It's worth looking into though. Unfortunately, I don't think you will be able to get 3 of them this way unless you're placing 3 orders in 3 different names.
