Sounds like a plan to me, and there is still tons of information on what he has/still claims and we could probaly sue Instigatiors lawyer as he is already fimiliar with the case.
Who feels like contacting Planetnet.net (his site's ISP) and shut his site down???
ya we could win the suit, but he wont pay up....probably some loser in his mom's garageQuote:

Duuuude look here if you look at color options silver w charcoal accents is standard. Looks like his mx57 to me.Quote:

Here is a Michael's MX517:

Ooh...does look similar doesn't it! ;)
All he does is resell crap.
The sager costs:
Cash Discount
$2409.28 + 3-in-1 card reader + mouse = about $2500.
And the MX517 costs:
Cash Discount
$2804.00
He's making $300 per machine right there...if the specs are correct. I configured the sager at www.pctorque.com to be exactly like the MX517.

lol.. look at that tesimonial .. that made me laugh
LMAO, I emailed him today, with the title You've got to be kidding me.
And I said I've seen a lot of BS in my life, but this takes the cake.
His response
Sorry,
If your speaking of our systems being the world’s fastest, your comment below is obviously of
jealously knowing you are so far behind. (LMAO!!!!!!!! LOL :D OMG what a joke)
We are more than satisfied with selling our systems to hundreds of clients every week who want the very best.
Tomorrow, I will be talking to my rich friend about purchasing a new system. And since these are the fastest in the world, he'll just have to buy one of these :).
EDIT: I also sent a letter to MaximumPC
A letter to michaelscomputers.com:Quote:
I recently visited the website: http://www.michaelscomputers.com and they claimed to have the fastest PC in the world. Not only that, but they also award it the “Maximum PC’s Kick *** Product” award. It is under the MX8 Computer and click “next” twice. It will show up your logo with one of SharkyExtreme’s logo. I was looking into purchasing this computer (if the claims are true) and was wondering if you actually endorsed this product or rated this product in any way.
Thank You
Devon
Just for kicks...:pQuote:
I was looking into purchasing your MX8 system. When talking about the speeds you list it as being an “INSTANT Computer System.” However, due to the less than normal time delay between my eyes and brain, what is considered “INSTANT” to some people is sometimes slower than “INSTANT” for me. I was wondering if you could tell me how “INSTANT” it really was.
Since I have nothing better to do, and because the Huntington Beach pier is my old local surf spot, I think I'm going to drive up there Monday and pay our buddy Mike a visit. I'm curious to see if he actually has a retail storefront, or if he's just working out of his garage. I don't understand why his mail order address is in Marina del Rey though, that's a hell of a commute from H.B.
Anyway, I'll let you guys know what his reaction is when I whip out a printed copy of the Sager photo and specs after listening to the sales pitch on "his" laptops :p . Assuming there's actually a store, that is.
*Bump* (in need for new material)
Well what did he say O_O did you go yet?
Hmmmah, not sure if anyone noticed, but aren't they using Sharky's logo?:mad: :eek:
http://www.michaelscomputers.com/mx83.jpg
yea, they brought that up around page 12 or so... lol 30 pages now. Guess noone liked my idea, or maybe people just dont care anymore.
Just waiting for some more of his stupidity to laugh at. I guess it couldn't explain why he make MX8 when MX7 was instant. He replied with something competely off and he still havn't reply my second time asking the same thing. I'm pretty much done playing around with him. Should I tell him that I have a cheque going his way? Would that bring me any trouble coz I don't want to run into any legal issues. :)
Maybe someone already posted this, but I'm too lazy to read throught the 30 pages to point something out. Michael's is stating that in 3d apps, rendering is instant! I guess we have no need for renderfarms anymor:D :D :D ! I'll get a hold of Boxx systems and let them know to stop making render nodes because Michael's does it all!!!
I blew my cover. BBB contacted him and he replied me.
Too bad... :oQuote:
Company's response to customer request:
Alex Lee is not a customer. This is a similar tactic that is being used by many people on the internet to attempt to falsify complaints against our company. As we have been in the business for more than 8 years, we are a manufacturing company and can post all that we produce which is legitimate and proven by our clients that do use our systems.
Holy smokes this thread is up to about 450 replies, last time I checked it was around 250 which was like 2 weeks ago. Does anyone have email check back on this thing.. cause they would get a lot of emails.
Same reply I got...except I threw in their face that AMD denied the existence of a FX 3400+ among other things. So we'll see.Quote:

He now claims to have a Radeon HT!
Read this BS from his site:
Since when did being a christian mean anything business wise? And how the hell does a one person operation provide support like Dell who have a 4 hour on demand support for their servers? Yeah, that's right, it's a bunch of BS...again. Someone put this fool out of his misery. It's so laughable to anyone who knows anything about computers as a business. Michael couldn't troubleshoot worth crap - all his stuff is customizable, which means any number of things can go wrong. Ah...I'm tired of his BS. We need someone to buy one is his comps and sue the crap out him.Quote:
The United States Navy couldn’t have said it better, “Michael, I have associates who say they want Dell because of the support of when something goes wrong (laughing) and something will always go wrong with a Dell. And getting assistance was extremely troublesome. I went through the same thing with Gateway and Compaq. When you need the support, who are going to end up speaking with? The maker of the system or some hired phone support of Dell, who doesn’t even know the specifics of your system, but only by a textbook they have in front of them that may only solve half of the problem. I only choose Michael's Computers over any other company because it’s far better to know the maker and someone you can trust and is a Christian.”
Hahaha, came across this jewel too:
Roflmao. Just shows how ignorant he is.Quote:
A: You'd never know it by talking to Dell, Gateway or E-machines, but a high quality power supply makes a substantial difference. If the power supply can't deliver the correct amounts of power to the right components at the right moment, you could have the fastest processor and memory installed on the best motherboard money can buy, and still not be able to do anything really great with them. After all, it's the electrons running through everything that makes a computer compute. It's also where much of a computers noise comes from. Most computer companies don't want you to know this because the power supply is one of the major places where they skimp and save money! Michaels Computers uses Antec True Power units, these are among the most highly rated PC power supplies in the industry. They're also very quiet.
I believe it is impossible to both be a good christian and point out that you're a good christian.

I also recall that he said it computers were like 0.11dba which is obviously a lie, even if it was a typo supposing to be 11dba, the antec True psu's are about 25 Dba. He probably took the readings a mile away.
*Edit* I'm a bad person
we should raise fund to buy one of his systems and sue his butt afterward. :D
