Take a look at this scam waiting to happen! Now, I don't want to see any of you complaining of getting scammed

They offer an 800Gh/s rig that uses... wait for it...GPU's. A single box containing what I can only guess to be ~670 AMD HD7990's (I don't know where they put'em in that tiny case.  

Q; Is your hardware based on a custom ASIC chip?
A; No, the hardware is comprised of AMD GPU stream processors on VLIW-5 architecture

I feel sorry for the guy who sent 72.109BTC.

Sorry! I didn't realize it was already in "Custom Hardware" sub-forum

More discussion on this here. Perhaps if BurtW would re-post his internet detective findings in that thread, I will close this one!

i dont feel sorry for this guy, such stupid ppls deserve it...

@Mods: can you close/mark all the cpcelectronic scam threads so nobody else falls for it?

[BurtW]

Just put a pointer to the other thread as your first and last post and lock this thread.  I really have nothing to add.  Someone has already visited the location and found the business was not there.  Total scam for sure.  [/thread]

[RyNinDaCleM]

Locking now!
