So, it appears that PC vendors are no longer hesitant to hike prices of their products, and Corsair is a recent example. While PC price hikes are common these days, what's not acceptable is cancelling the already placed order without any valid reason. A Redditor just reported that he became a victim of such an incident after he placed an order for a Corsair pre-built system two days ago.

What for? So the customer wastes his precious time and money suing them so they could potentially get them what they want and issue a fine that's equivalent to a slap on the wrist? It ain't worth it.
