Can you get much more stupid than this guy?

Athlon64 FX-51... ok, so far so good...
3.4 Ghz? ... uhhh, wait a minute...
PC3700 RAM? ... hmmm, A64's only support up to PC3200...
"3.4GHz Pentium5 compatible" ... ummmm... what's a Pentium 5? and what makes this compatible with it?
"AthlonFX 3.4GHz " .... uhh yeah... no such thing... yet
"PC4200" ... wait, I thought it was PC3700?
"1.9GHz-FSB" ... woah... A64's have a FSB again! and it runs at more than half the core speed! amazing!
"32-bit Hypertransport" ... no such thing, HT links are all 16 bit
"15GB/s Quad-Channel ViA K8T800" ... wow... fork dual channel RAM, now we got QUAD CHANNEL!!!

... and he's got a Pentium 4 logo in the ad. Has 1 negative feedback, 1 neutral, zero positive, and he made his feedback private so you can't read what the user wrote about him, or who it was. Hopefully eBay comes down on this guy... he's obviously trying to scam people, only he's too dumb to even make a realistic looking ad.

Take a look at his other auctions too... this guy is a real winner =)

I am not sure if he's going for the "sucker born every minute" or he's an idiot.

DDR VRAM, Quad channel KT800, P5 "compatible" FX3400.
Wow, he's selling quite a lot of 3GHz+ Athlon FX rigs.
Auctions devoid of any reality, too.

I like how there's all this comp stuff, then two "Adult Verification Required" links in his other items category

Yup, one is the Paris Hilton sex video, and the other is a picture of her... ummmm... "goods?" :D

Did you like the photoshop items he has? Took a picture of somebody and used the stained glass filter to make it look like stained glass and listed it for ~$100.
