I ordered my son a Dell for Christmas last November. I watched the tracking and on the 20th of December, the date was changed till January 15th. I called them and they told me that the video card was on backorder. So, I told them to just put a different one in and they told me I would have to start over again. I bitched a little but decided to wait. I checked the tracking again and it said order cancelled. So, I went to
http://www.pcconnection.com and ordered a sony at 8:00PM. It was at my door the next day.
I stay away from PC companies that brag about building your pc after you order it. It just takes too damn long.
