    Anyone want a good laugh?

    Look at the claims this site is making:

    http://www.michaelscomputers.com/

    Michael's Computers are more than FOUR times faster than Apple's G5 and more than EIGHT times faster than Dell, Alienware, Velocity Micro, Gateway, or Compaq.

    1600 MHz Front Side Bus

    ATI's newest M10P VRAM Graphics card (3X Faster than ATI's 9800 PRO)

    Utilizing the new AMD 64-BIT Clawhammer 3200+ processor, this is leading technology operating more than 15 times as fast as any competitor and appearing only at michaelscomputers.com
    What a pile of BS.

    Hold on a sec:

    4x as fast as a G5 and 8 times faster then a dell.

    So G5's are twice as fast as a real computer?

    ok, ok, I give up...

    Boots up in 7 seconds...I should give these guys a call.

    Can they just use Disney's, the Marines, and the Navy's logo like that?

    The BBB would be all over this one.

    Have you guys noticed one thing? They say they have 18k in 3DMark03, 700fps in some benchmarks, yet they have no prove. They don't have any links to any scores. To make it even worse, they tried to put screenshots on their forums to show others but the pix don't even exist
