Well a friend of mine ordered a system last month from Axis Computers. According to him they charged his card and just recently went out of business. So basically they took the money and ran he never got a computer. Lucky for me I was waiting to buy from them till he got his system. As of now they wont answer any emails or phone calls. Makes me leary anymore of buying big ticket items online.
Im not sure but he said he researched the company. Many big name magazines rated their systems high and they have been in business around 10 years. I think he just had unlucky timing.

don't be... if you really do a proper job at researching, it is as safe as any brick-and-concrete retailer is...
I just bought a $6500 computer from a company in calgary (voodoo.ca), never saw any of them in person, but the computer is the best one I've ever had (and I've had brand names and clones since the 286s)... I just did my research and was confident that they'd do what I wanted and more, and so it happened just saying that one admittedly aweful experience shouldn't wreck your confidence into the whole concept
