You know what's really funny? The first call, the lady told you they're waiting on new shipments, the second call, you said after raising hell, they "moved you to the front of the line".
They just basically said "we'll ship yours when they come in" but worded it differently the second time, and, if I read you correctly, that was enough to assuage you
I'm not trying to pick on you or goof on you, I'm just saying I'd call up and cancel the order. You can find similar deals at NewEgg, who I also recommend. I've built 5 systems with parts bought from them, and even returning stuff with them is easier than your local brick-n-mortar store.
Their prices, while they CAN be beat elsewhere on CERTAIN things, are just as good, if not better, after factoring in shipping costs and headache costs when dealing with other places. NewEgg is quite simply the place you should be going to, and if not, you're taking your chances and inviting frustration.
I looked at NewEgg when that deal came out, and they had a similar setup for $65. I was still going to pick up one of those mobo combos for the price, but now I'm glad they ran out before I could place my order. The additional money and lack of a hassle/headache will be worth the few extra bucks I'll pay.
Oh, and in case no one else has learned it yet, when that site says "call for availability", it means they're out of stock on that item, don't expect it in soon, and want to sell you on another, more expensive item. If it doesn't say "IN STOCK" with them, don't order it.
Seriously, they may NEVER get more of those in stock, and they WON'T call you to tell you that. They'll wait...eventually you'll call them all pissed off again.
Make that call tomorrow. Cancel the order. Go to NewEgg. Bunk on your busboy line too. Earlier you were telling us how the job paid great. Pick up a few extra nights and go to NewEgg.
