7.5’ Computer Monitors

Wow. This is a really, really big monitor. Up to 96” wide, with a resolution of 6400 x 1200. Wow. Oh, and it only costs $17,500!

I’ve never heard of this company before, but apparently they are a very high-end PC manufacturer. And holy crap are their computers ever expensive. The next time someone tells me Apple’s machines are too expensive, I will be happy to send them to this site. Their cheapest desktop machine is $3,000, with the most expensive default configuration being nearly $8,000. However after customizing a system with all of the options maxed out it came out to $32,000 without a monitor.

It’s also quite interesting that this company completely rips off the Apple site. It’s basically an exact copy, only with their own bulky beast computers in place of the sleek and elegant Macs. Funny how even the biggest and most innovative PC manufacturers still copy everything Apple does, while simultaneously putting them down for not being fast enough or not running Windows or whatever bullshit excuse they have come up with at the moment.

They do seem like awfully nice machines, the only problem being that they still run Windows. I guess if you really like windows or something though, they would be pretty nice to have.

Yeah. They even stole the finder icons! http://www.go-l.com/technology/index.html

Some people think it’s a hoax. I would think twice about buying from them, considering every picture on their “technology” page is a stock photo from gettyone.com. That doesn’t give me much confidence in their products, when they can’t even post real pictures of the executives or employees.
