Tigerdirect won't give me a refund...

over a box. I bought a systemax PC from them and when it arrived, I threw the box out and everything because I thought the PC would be ok. Wrong, SLI doesn't really work, games won't load. I try to return it and they say they won't take my PC back without the box that came with it because the manufacturer won't take it back. So thinking now, I just threw out a 4000 dollar box. Expensive as hell.

Bummer!

I just talked to my friend, who works for tiger. he said the box has a 1 year warranty on it and 1 year free tech support. he also said that they would have taken it back, with out the box, but would charged a restocking fee.
i have 2 systemax PC's (not like yours, i am sure) and have had good luck with them. the company i work for has several systemax boxes and any time they are down, the tech support guys get them back up very quickly.
For $4000 you must have built a custom gaming box.
would like to know what the outcome was.
thanks.

If you sent them the parts, they have too. If not, contact your credit card co.,

This is why I always keep my boxes for a year or so. Some places will not honor the warrentee if you don't send it back in the box it came from. I find it easier. They can't gripe that the packing was insufficient and may have been the cause of the problem.
Yeah it can cause clutter for a while, but it's better than $4000 down the drain.

that or actually try fixing the problem

Wow bad idea. They could aslo fine you or charge you with attempted theft. Thats 10years in jail! Not worth it.

I was joking.
