Son's new gaming PC DOA

My oldest son bought his brother a new gaming PC.
It arrived yesterday, and he plugged it in and nothing on the monitors at his place.
That was with CRTs.

He brought it over there and hooked it up to my spare LCD, nada.

The PC fires up, the video card, RAM, everything else seems to be seated.
And of course the outfit is closed for the weekend.

Fans light up, lights, you name it.
This is a head scratcher.
Anyone seen a scenario like this?
It was suppose to be loaded with Vista Home and other software from the company.

I would have preferred to have built him one, but my oldest son wanted to buy this for him.

He will call up the place on Monday and see if they will send a tech to his place, or if he has to ship it back.
He is pretty upset that it is DOA, and has held my PC captive all weekend as he had a tournament to play in today.
