So, my uncle tells me he's ordering a new PC.....(Emailing him now telling him it's a joke)

[codeyf]

Background info: This is the same uncle that is handicapped (quad, very limited use of upper limbs) and has a lot of money as he sued Ford and won.

Anyway, he is all about top of the line etc etc. He's been bed-ridden for the past couple months due to pressure sores and apparently he's rewarding himself. Here I'm thinking he's not getting another Dell (he's on his 3rd upgrade from them), maybe a Falcon or a VooDoo. Well, this is the link he sends me:

The MachL 3.8 Extreme
The Cinerama 51" Display

I was speechless as I was talking to him when he sent me the link. Yes, the box is MAJOR overkill. You guessed it, he surfs the internet, does fantasy sports, etc. Yep, that's it. I want to tell him not to get it, but he is set on it. At the very least I'm gonna try to reason with him to maybe ease up on the PC a bit (500gb instead of 1tb, 2gig of ram instead of 4) and maybe bump up to the next bigger monitor.

All I know is regardless of how he configures it, I'm going to have to go visit him in Kona and give it (the computer you pervs) a thorough inspection 😀

Irony can be quite ironic sometimes, don't you think?

Edit: Oh yeah, that's a fake computer by the way. There have been almost dozens of threads on it in the last couple months.

Good GOD, that's some nice sh!t...how did he even find it? Seems a bit...niche, for an average lay-user.

Is this a joke?

 

[codeyf]

Family friend of theirs found it some how, sent him the link.

No joke.

I don't care about the box, but the LCD(s?) are :Q Click on the monitors tab and look at the Grand Canyon series.....

 

[notfred]

hahahahaha! Good luck with your PC. It should compliment your new bosai kitten quite well.

 

[jfall]

I thought that was a fake store

YES

It has been posted 12378974873874 times and confirmed a JOKE.

I Seriously hope your uncle does not think this is real.

I don't see what the big deal is with the 51" display. For that amount of coinage just get a plasma or a wall mounted display

Speaking of which... they still haven't shipped mine yet. I need to give them a call and see why it's taking so long. They cashed my check 4 weeks ago.

😕 Somebody posted this before and I thought they said that it was a joke site. I seem to remember there being "features" on those computers that didn't exist.

Edit: Wow, too slow....

like the cranial implants that you could control the computer with mind power?

 

[dquan97]

That's exactly what I have!!

(jk)...

 

[codeyf]

Someone have a straight-forward page saying it's fake that I can send to him.

Would appreciate it.

Searching for what? He didn't know it was a joke.

57" Response Time: 15ms(Tr+Tf)

There is your proof right there. At the time this site was first posted there was no such thing as a 15 ms panel. also the fact that it is 57" is supposed to make you think that it is 3x19" monitors. 19" panels aren't even 16ms yet. Also explain to me why the response times get smaller as the monitor gets bigger. 😕

For God's sake man, don't try to use logic when you are talking to the Re-Post Police, you will only confuse them!!

 

[LiekOMG]

Tell him to get a Powermac G5 with a 23" cinema display. They are just as cool 😉

 

[Demon-Xanth]

I could see making one of those displays and attaching it to a Parhelia.... 😀
