Ok, so I was looking at tomshardware.com and I saw an investigative article about this scam website. So I thought I would go visit it. :disgust:
http://www.michaelscomputers.com/index.htm
everything about this website pisses me off. He is such a con. He uses so many cheap tactics to get people too. The navy emplem, in the FAQ he says he is trustworthy because it a christian! And look at his system specs, he is clearly an idiot who knows NOTHING about computers. At first it looks ok, but then you start seeing flaws all over...just makes me sick :|
P.S. The contact page is my favorite. If you send him a check/money order instead of other methods of payment (ie. methods that leave more trails and cover against fraud) you get 200$ off.

people who hand him over their $ deserve to lose them... (if they don't lose it to him, they'll probably be sending that money to Nigeria anyway, so what's the big deal?)

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.

He words it as if your comp would be FASTER with a quality PSU! OMG!!! :eek:

From the August 2004 press release at his site:

United States Navy Sidewinder Missile Division in California - "We have computers from every company, and your MX Systems surpass every computer we have ever tested. Our technicians saw your latest systems and they practically drooled over them"
