Am presently on hold with them for about 40 minutes,

Ordered 2 day on the 23rd, and just got it today, minus my CPU!!!!!

My opinion is they are SUK!

Their prices look pretty good, but I have had no experience with them. The prices over at Newegg are a little lower than WeBuildPCs, and their products and customer service are pretty good. The choice is yours. Hope this helps.

Hey, I've been ordering tons from these guys over the last 6 months w/no problems whatsoever. Well, I did have a little problem (search function for my thread) with a power supply, but the owner of the company called me personally at home and made everything right, now that's customer service!
They are somehow affiliated (don't know how, sister company?) with Abilitywholesale.com, but don't know much more than that? My main vendor I order from is Newegg, but I still do tons of business with WBPCS - they also have extremely competetive prices on components, ect. and best of all, their shipping is probably less than half of what Newegg charges. Seriously, throw together a system or a bunch of parts that both companies carry and see how much cheaper WBPCS shipping is.
I have to highly recommend them because I've had absolutely no issues with them, the one problem I did have...they solved in a great way.

Oh yeah, although Newegg still overall has the best prices in town, I must point out that certian things over at WBPCs are worth getting from them. I order a lot of cheap 80mm fans, keyboards, speakers and the stuff for many plain vanilla boxes that I put together for friends. Once in a while, they also have deals that are better than NewEgg on some things, but not all the time - I make it a habit to surf on over there before I order from Newegg and compare - once in a while it's worth buying from WBPCS (some things) instead.

kay, now i feel like an idiot (blank post)
hers my stuff:
This company advertised pc2700 memory which would only run stable at pc1600 cas2.5. Would not return messages and had only advertised a long distance number for support. No email was replied to (send more than 30 over the course of weeks), and no attempts have been made on their behalf to right the situation. I will list the following contact information for them since I have done quite a bit of digging for this. www.webuildpcs.com AKA: www.ocztech.com www.central-computers.com www.athlonoc.com www.abilitycomputers.com www.theoverclockerzstore.com ...amost others..they are doing business under the umbrella of CenCom which stands for Central Computers. There are two address I have come up with for sure: Cen Com, Inc 3287 Willowcreek Rd Portage, IN 46368 and: CENTRAL COMPUTERS 6335 ROBINS ROAD PORTAGE, IN 46368 They have the following webmaster: Eric Hull Who may be reached at: eric@webuildpcs.com They list the following phone numbers: Phone: 219.764.3366 Fax 219.764.0173 BUT I HAVE FOUND A TOLL FREE NUMBER: 1-866-755-1766 The better business bureau of NW Indian can be found here: http://www.nwin.bbb.org/ And their local Police and detective bureau is here: http://www.ci.portage.in.us/police/detective_bureau.htm And aparently you can lease THEIR OFFICE LOCATION here: http://www.portageindianachamber.com/ecodev.phtml (3287 Willowcreek Rd) - CHECK IT OUT. i CAN BE REACHED AT USEPOST2000@YAHOO.COM FOR FURTHER COMPLAINTS.

I ordered some stuff from abilitywholesale.com which is the same company basically...and they screwed up my order by replacing a 10$ network card with a 12$ c-media 4.1 sound card, but it turns out i didnt need a new network card anyway and i used the soundcard!

They delayed my order like 10 days, but then shipped overnight at there own expense which was pretty decent.
