This is beyond ridiculous. Almost makes me think that someone hacked the site and did all this themselves.
Unbelievable...

You beat me to it Colussus! I just did a search on Arin after I pinged his server to get the IP. Nice work, PI :cool:

You know what I love????
I love it how they have a P4 3.6Ghz/3.8Ghz/4.0Ghz and 4.2Ghz before Intel even released it!!!!!
And they charge more for each processor!!!! Did you know a 4.2Ghz CPU ONLY cost $575!!!!!
WOW!
:rolleyes:
I like this :)
Pentium 4 HTX???? What is the X? HyperThreadingeXtreme? :DQuote:
MX357 Liquid Cooled System With Optional 3.6GHz, 3.8GHz, 4.0GHz, or 4.2GHz Pentium 4 HTX Speed, configured with a Liquid Ingested Cooling System, + Floppy Drive (All additional components are listed below. Please note that all parts are listed in level of performance also - i.e the very bottom video card choice is currently the top performing video card) Screen refreshes to reflect current price after each selection.
I also love how he adds on the 7 year (cost $600 for 4 years!!! Since all his systems comes stock with a 3 year!)
Also I am confused...
Look at this
That shows the 3.2Ghz faster then a G5.. So how is the G5 only 4x slower then his custom crap.. When a Dell is 8x slower?
Hmmmmm
EDIT:
HMMMM!!!! Interesting he is selling the CreativeLabs Megaworks 550 for $165????? How the... Mwave and Newegg has them for about $230..
That seems like a nice deal :)

What a computer has no software? Or does his computers = 60% hardware / 20% Optimizations and 20% Customer Service and %50 Software?Quote:
It's every component inside an MX7 2003 that make it the proven (3DMark03) most powerful computer for the year 2003. Isn't it a great feeling to know your getting the very fastest, most features and overall superior performance before you buy it? A computer system is always 60% Hardware, 20% Optimizations and 20% Customer Service. When you purchase from Michael's Computers, you get PROVEN rock-solid craftsmanship, extreme computing performance, and the best service, warranty and technical sales support. Generally, systems on the market appear to be similar by parts they feature. Michael’s Computers are set above in quality by using only the best components available which makes the MX7's and MV5's perform better than any comparable computer. Featuring the best 24Bit Sound Systems, Highest Capability Graphic Output Systems and the Ultimate in Silence Systems – The only systems on the market with a less than .21dBa Sound Level which is comparable to a whisper.

EDIT3:
OH MY GOD FRAUD!!!!! Well yeah we all knew it... But look at this I found when browsing his site
http://www.michaelscomputers.com/images/benchmis.gif
Notice the large increase in the tested system???
Now look closely, its not even the same benchmarking set!!! Even the reference speeds changed!!!! How can you show improvement when you use an older version of Sandra with a newer one.. With different scores for the reference systems?
Ya know whats great, is the fact that he ONLY deals in P4 systems. Notice how the larger number (4.2Ghz P4 verses say a 2.8Ghz AthlonXP) is what he deals with. Totally not bashing Intel, but its just funny how even Michael uses the whole "More Mhz is better" kinda strategy. Greatly funny :)
This is a LAWSUIT waiting to happen
edit
I just saw this from Colossus's post (too many s's :))
"Liquid Ingested Cooling System" ROFLMAO
So what, you swallowed the water and then puked it back up and then poured it in the res ??
It says the water was 'ingested'. Heh, already pre-processed with hydrochloric acid. Yeah, I want THAT running through my waterblock and radiator :)
This is what you call quality???

Uh, yeah, this guy reeks of BS. I mean, cmon, even I could make an inside of a comp better (Yea I am a CLEAN freak with my case) and I am not really that good, I just like to have fun on em.
His advertising skillz have won me over, lemme call him up and tell him to send me the most expensive computer he has so I can have a 4.2ghz P4 whoohoo.
If he actually sells anything though, and makes decent money doing it, he might be onto something genius...and maybe people are one notch stupider then I thought they were to begin with...
Wasn't the video card an ATI M10 that was 3x faster than the Radeon 9800pro?
This guy is SO comic (even his face):p
if by genius you mean fraudulent...then okQuote:

still laughing from last night about this one (and just wanted to post it again)

ROTFL
rofl, the fun goes on :D :D :D
Did you guys notice that the meter is named after one of his systems? Look at the middle of the meter :D :D
This guy is so pathetic and full of bs he is hilarious. I just hope no poor sucker buys into that load of crap. He gives honest hard working people a bad name. :(
This is what I got as a reply. I asked for links to reviews. But got some useless response.

Well the address checks out over at www.mapquest.com. Anyone here live in Long Beach its probably a short trip over. Looks to me like its in the middle of a residential zone. I can imagine this guy using an address of someone in the phone book.

So he's saying that his system will still be able to compete when we are all running at 5-6Ghz :DQuote:
Q: Everyone is talking about how computer prices have come WAY down. Why should I spend the extra for all this? I'm not decoding the human genome or modeling weather after all!
A: People who invest in a top of the line computer have figured out that it costs less in the long run and is much more fun, productive, and less frustrating than getting sucked into the constant upgrade and repair cycle of buying cheap ones. A PC from Michael's Computers will last you at least twice as long, so it's like buying your next TWO computers. Not only that but you save the headache of wondering what to do in 3 years because your PC is giving you cryptic messages, acting like it's haunted, and not doing what you want it to. And of course it's so much FUN to have an incredibly fast, dazzling and rock solid stable PC.
Huh, so my Tornado and a bunch of little case fans shouldn't be the cause of the noise then :pQuote:
Q: You mention the power supply above. Why do I care about the power supply? Power is power. Right?
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.
