Default Michael's Computers

A little over a month ago a friend was talking about a post he read in a thread dealing with a company called "Michael's Computers". This "business" if would call it that, sells computers that are said to be on the site "the fastest in the world". He brags about have PCMark scores of 17,000+ when the fastest computers most people can make now peak at a little over 10,000+. I figured it was a scam considering 90% of everything listed on the site was either to good to be true or did not exist.

If you guys have heard about this site then you might be interested in checking this out. I decided to do a little digging up today and found this article about it:

I'll let you be the judge about if you think this is a scam or not....

thats sounds like a scam to me... of course if i was going to buy one i'd GET one try it for a month then pay if i was satisfied and if that guy didnt agree then id claim it to be a scam (maybe just a couple days) but then... maybe i'd sue him or sumtin if i did buy it and it crashed like two days later

If i wanted a quality pc... i'd become a crack dealer to earn money, then i'd buy all the parts and build a beast machine. not to forget i'd bribe those bitchez at SBC to speed up the hookup of lines and services to my area.
