What would you do?

Call your credit card company and tell them you are a victim of fraud. Include the emails and say you just want to cancel or dispute the charge as they have no intent on shipping you this PC.

It takes about an hour to build a PC and all they would do is check the Device Manager and Event Viewer for QC. Sounds like a load of bull crap to me.

Next time build it yourself or get a pre-made machine from like Alienware or the like. The "custom" PC's is so 2000...

This is done and done thanks for the info guys.
Also I just wanna state that building the PC myself wasnt the issue ive built the last 3 ive owned all through Newegg and local part stores, It was the warranty I was after 3 years full coverage on parts/labor/shipping but you guys are right I wouldnt wanna deal with all that crap again for somthing like a burnt out power supply or fryed MB.

Thx again

not to mention the fact that it is against US law to charge your credit card before the system ships.

I don't think that's true.

Companies charge credit cards for shipments all the time, before they ship.

it is true. most people just don't realize it. it's commonly referred to as the "mail order rule". i used to work for a large computer maker in a call center environment. your credit card will not be charged until the system ships. if it does, the consumer really does have a legitimate beef.
