wow almost 30 pages. Longest forum discussion ive ever read. How about we all pool our money, into a paypal account, and order one of these systems from him, then when it dosent work, we can sure him with a class action suit, and all make some money off it? 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.
Newest update to Michael's website - he now has a link to an MP3 of a radio advertisement for his crap linked on the front page. I only shudder to think of how many people may be duped into buying his crap because of that ad.
I caught him red handed...
Here's a sager 4780:

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.
NO!!! Not exactly. Come on, I'll bet the Sager doesn't have Quad Hypertransport NOR Indinimic Hard drives!!! It's clear you're just behind the times, my friend....:D :DQuote:

BTW, hey, all, I've kinda held back, but isn't this whole thread kinda like trying to discuss honest business with a Times Square drug dealer or a Real Estate Telemarketer?
Word. I'm down.Quote:

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.
