Zip code for rebate address is incorrect. Should be 85072 instead of 85702.

I wouldn't be so sure about that... I have another rebate that had 85702 on it for Antec. (look up promo 104908) Can someone give a definitive answer?

<edit> What the heck is going on? It's seem all rebatestatus rebates lately have moved away from Niagara Falls, NY to Phoenix, AZ, but the zip codes are either 85702 or 85027. 85702 is Tuscon,AZ whereas 85027 is Phoenix, AZ. Another way for them accident have our rebates misdirected and lost!! </edit>

85072: Phoenix, AZ
85702: Tucson, AZ

Either the zip code is wrong, or the city name is wrong. One call at 877-776-1280 should resolve it.

I spoke to a CSR, she couldn't find the rebate in the system yet. The rebate is "too new" as she stated ...

Yes. I've done plenty of Antec rebates and they always come thru.

Is the MX-100 ... with no noise... better than the MX-1...

If the MX-100 achieves the NO NOISE by HAVING NO FAN, then it is definately NOT better than the MX-1 with a fan. Not if you are going to use it for more than 5 minutes at a time.

HEAT is the deadly enemy of electronics, inclusing hard drives.

Can someone recommend a eSATA add-on card?

The GP is so low in heat, I'm wondering if you could just open up the case and cut the fan wires to go silent. Anyone else think this is an ok idea? I'm thinking of doing this.

Also, I'm thinking of using for a series3. Have you had any problems with the GP drive? I read somewhere that people were having compatability problems?

I had a prelim concern about that too, but I have had no problems with the GP drive, and it's been connected for a month thus far. Rewind, FF, accessing recordings all work perfectly. Even the eSATA cable that comes with the Antec works perfectly (some other cables dont hold onto TiVo's recessed esata port), so I have to return the SIIG cable I bought. Very pleased. Love not having to constantly delete programs and/or reduce the quality of my recordings.
