I've had this happen to me. Ended up with three work computers after waiting a week after my start date to get one. It was a temporary gig and they were paying me regardless, so no skin off of my back...but it was endlessly frustrating for my boss and I had multiple IT people tied up for hours trying to resolve everything. Edit: I also left another position at another company (to move to a different position at the same company) mostly because it meant I would get a new computer instead of one that would take 20 minutes to boot (and required mid-day reboots as well)
