I might say the price is a little much for working such a rebate, not the worst but with DDR3 it's a little behind the times. Fairly powerful for a Half-Height card, it hardly lends it's self for gaming even older titles at lower setting, all while like a 44W TDP.
Here's the quandary, right today for $60 -AR$20 and $5.39 shipping you can get a Diamond R7 240 1GB GDDR5 128-Bit Half-Height, with only 33W TDP... I see it as the better deal. Figure it's more of a bump above a 6670 GDDR3, let alone the deal here and uses 20% less power. As to the fan, moving to this newer card will make use of AMD Zerocore, which turns off the fan once in a long idle state, saving if from running and collecting dust which is a major reasons fans of this size fail. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814103252
As a generic upgrade from older on-board in some SFF chassis with at least a 220W it would bring more than enough of a shot in the arm. But if going for a HTPC that might provide limited gaming with all the modern spec's and whatnot's I see the extra $15 provide a better value especially considering the 6750 is now like 3 year old.
