Just as a heads-up, this appears to be for US residents only. Here is a snippet from the terms and conditions:

----------------------------
The Program is open only to confirmed registered members of www.eBay.com who (a) click on an eBay paid search advertisement marked with the Live Search cashback logo, (b) are legal residents of the United States, (c) have a residence located in the United States tied to their account on www.eBay.com, (d) are eighteen (18) years of age or older and (e) satisfy the requirements set forth herein and in the Microsoft Program Terms;
----------------------------

That would have been a sweet way to get a discounted SAM440!



I'm not entirely sure what "Sucks" the most!?
The crap above or the actual price of a Deneb USB card in the first place!? Considering you can buy a PeeCee USB PCI card for around £15, is someone not taking the piss somewhere or are we all too blind to give a rats ass!?
Getting 0lder is Mandatory..... Growing up is an option.

PeeCee USB PCI cards use cheap ASIC's and are made in their millions which cuts the cost right back.

Deneb uses an FPGA and is made in the 100's.

While I think at £100 ($200) it is very expensive for what it is. Unfortunately it is the price you pay for custom electronics. I do not think anyone is getting rich here. 10% for the manufacturer and 10% for the retailer perhaps?
