Too Good to Be True: Michael's Computers
 

a friend sent me a link to an article about this Michael's Computer company.... the site made some really big claims about the computers they built

looks like its all pretty much BS and the company doesnt really exist...

really lame...


whoops almost forgot the link :p

Ha ha, Tom's Hardware owned them pretty bad. I read the entire article. Michael was saying his PC was .19 decibels which is much quieter than the lighest whisper. Complete bullshit! The world record of 3d Mark 2003 is right over 10,000, anyway. Ladies and Gentlemen, online fraud at its best!

What kind of OS would boot up in 4 seconds? Windows XP has built in delays for device drivers etc.

Great find.

Read the whole site and watched the videos.

I love seeing people like this get owned.

Who in the world would fall for claims like that in the first place???

If it were true, every PC mag in the orld would have been all over it months ago. :rolleyes:

That was a good read.
Little disturbing.

DOS 6.22 :)

Their whole "optimized" CPU was just damn pathetic and ridiculous. How the hell do these people even turn out a damn profit with such exaggerated specs:hmm:

Have to agree with Lasereth on this one computer fraud is really the best...

Yeah I read this story a few days ago and thought it was humorous. But I bet there's a WHOLE BUNCH of people around the world who would like to get their hands on this guy.... or more importantly.... his neck !!

he's a damn good liar! after watching the video, he has me convinced of his outrageous claims........

except for the fact that they are impossible.......

yep, that article was fuckin hilarious. It's some major ownage when Tom's Hardware, one of the most respected hardware review sites online comes knocking at your door, asking you to back up scores of 17000+ on 3dmark2003, along with average boot times of 7.7 seconds. Who'd that fucker think he was fooling? AMD Athlon FX 3400+? What the fuck is that?

That video is the funniest thing I have ever seen!

That Mike is the king of con artists! Not in his setup or "reasonable claims" but in the fact that he has created such an intricate web of lies regarding past customers and even the time he was almost scammed!

God my sides hurt from laughing!

NO!.. I really did buy this pc, and its super quiet!! Super fast, and it has never slowed down, even when i was running, UT2004, Half-Life, and the Lineage 2 demo running at the SAME time!! My pc also acts as a car (that flys btw..), and it cooks my food, cleans my house, does my work, and it even pleasures me :D

........ i *swear* .............
really...........
