He probably sends you standard hardware, then codes up the rest with software.

IE Standard install, then write up some lame vb or c++ app that tweaks a few reg settings and give the software a model number like "9600XM Super 3D INSTANT Accelerator"

Insane.

I'll tell you though... "what does he send when you buy one?"... I'm sure he sends you a notebook that roughly resembles all that crap he's making up. He says "new ATI 256-bit 9600XM Super 3D INSTANT processor" and that means you maybe get a 9600 or a 9200IGP or something like that. You will receive an *object* for your money, and for most people out there, I'm talking 99.5% of people out there, these specs are a complete and utter mystery that they will never be able to understand or argue with a con artist like this guy.

That ad is so bizarre. I have never seen such a thing. Then his paypal button says he isn't able to accept money. I did look at the web archive and I saw a christian fish on the site from 1999. I also noticed that one of his testimonials said he was a "christian." That's tight bro. He's gotta be legit. WWJD and all that.

My toy is on order, hope it lives up to the hype. DOB 4/2/2004

totally....didn't you know that if you're christian and you're selling something, showing it completely proves that everything you say is true? .

i almost spat out my soda laughing so hard when someone wrote earlier in this post, "i want the eagle. i wanna' fly."

so funny....

I’m in the process of reviewing a new system, you can give me the difference between your MX517 and a Sager 4780. It is about $500 cheaper. I’m not too worried on the price or what software is on it, but I want the fasted hardware. The details look the same on both systems, they also look at same, do they purchase from you or you from them???

I mean Gamers come first and last. This is a fairly prestigous group. We have 3 of the 4 U.S. armed forces represented here. Not to mention Realtors.

I was using a lowly laptop that doesn't "have the eagle". Now, I wanna fly with instant adrenalized speed...

Maybe he does not feel the ARMY can't handel the pure raw ungodly power of the Eagle on adrenalized speed

I can't because I don't know what the columnist (Lee Gomes) is going to write.

I can tell you that he flew down to our offices and interviewed me about the whole case for about five hours!

Sorry but I had to bring that old topic back.
The scheme is much bigger now.
I think former "Go-L" Computer. a.k.a. "Miguel Liebermann", a.k.a. "lisa Ciezniewski" and "Michaels Compuers" are one bunch of organized criminals.
Smae address, same city, same business model.
But now, the whole thing went public, under LITL (L International computers), so we reached a higher level in ripping off customers.
The even flood the internet with SPAM mails now.
Why isn´t the SPEC or FBI busting them?
