    hehe, wait when you click. I wonder what his email is, maybe i could send him an email asking to see a photograph/picture of the computer innards. noticing this fact, makes me wonder how anyone could fall for it.

    EDIT:

    This guy is a fraudulent loser who should be dealt with (Any profits returned to buyers, and locked up in prison for a few years, and business license ability revoked indefinitely).

    People like this make my blood boil, I can't believe that the guy is so smooth with lies in that interview, makes me want to punch him o.o

    This guy was debunked a while ago. I still visit his site periodically for a good laugh though. :hehe: What's funny is that he claims his offices are in Marina Del Rey. Whats funnier is that I lived there two years ago and I know for a fact that the address is a UPS store full of PO boxes. Makes it harder to track him down when he rips you off i guess... :rolleyes:

    No his site is not just up as a running joke, out of curiosity about a month ago i started an email conversation acting like i wanted to buy one, I told him I wanted the P4 3.4ee which he said was the best he had but he tryed to talk me into the amd machine so i let him, well he advertised at the time an AMD Athlon 64 3400+ FX-53 in one of his machines, I went along with this non-existent cpu but asked him why I shouldn't wait for the fx-55, his answer was because it would be slower than his mythical 3400+ FX-53. Well at that point I told him I was ready to buy what did I have to do? He replied that if i pay with a money order he would give me a $200 discount, or I could pay with a personal check, but he was unable to take credit cards or paypal due to technical difficulties.

    Technical difficulties I'm sure meant paypal dropped him due to fraud and his credit card processing company camceled him due to too many chargebacks.

    The funniest part is that in the guys emails and to watch that video he's convinced himself that all this bs is true to the point that he preaches it as if it were written in the bible. He would be a great salesman if he would only sell real products.
