Would anybody be able to speak to the build quality?
I think it would be interesting to remove the enclosure and see if the yellow mesh can be removed to spray paint matte white. Then just take some white out and paint the O on the logo. black circular sticker on the fan and this thing just might be approaching good looking.
Please note:
The odds of you getting the rebate from Zotac are very slim. Apparently they are very shady when it comes to rebates. There are post all over the internet about people not getting rebates, or getting them several weeks later and the checks are expired.
DO NOT EXPECT TO GET A REBATE.
That being said $230 for a GTX 570 is still a great price and the lowest I have seen.
zotac and many other rebates now arrive as a one use Visa card (toll free phone call to activate 1 year expiration) in an envelope that is often mistaken for junk mail, thus people who claim not to get rebates, more likely just threw them away.
I got a rebate from OCZ recently and definitely thought it was junk mail until I opened it.
There are posts all over the internet about every company who offers rebates. People say the same thing about literally everyone.
I bought a gtx 560 ti from zotac and I received my rebate. I didn't do anything extra to receive it. I just followed the instructions.
This is a great price. These are only slightly worse than 7850s.
At stock clock?
At stock they are slightly better but use way more power
7850s are better at OC though, I believe.
