this is the desktop i configured:

standard case and PS
A64 3200+
KV8 deluxe
1024 mb of ram
no video
52X CDRW
no dvd rom
36 gb rapotor
integrated sound

ALL FOR $559

But then again....


I am one of many who is working with the Federal Government and the New York Attorney General to finally bring down AIPCS, AI Computers, Lambros Ballas, etc... (all the same). They stole $248 from me and $175 from my Daughter, beginning last May (My Order). Ballas is going down very soon and so are his criminal pursuits, internet fraud ventures, etc...
THE LAW IS AT YOUR DOORSTEP, MR LAMBROS BALLAS!!! Additionally you are being sued in Civil Court also. GOOD LUCK!!!


This company is AIPCS,same low down scamming thieves as before.buyer beware, shop elsewhere


AI COMPUTERS IS AIPCS STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY THEY ARE A FRAUD AND A SCAM...YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just FYI, another AI Computers thread is going here right now but for the A64 deals.

Also, there's a thread up on Apex's forums regarding this company here. Apex, the big guy at www.GotApex.com, is active in that thread and is giving AI Computers his approval. It's an interesting read - definitely worth it.

EDIT: Doh! I didn't ready this thread fully and missed Apex's posts here - I apologize. Either way, the Apex Forums thread is a good read to learn a bit about this purchase but you better hurry! Also, regarding their phones not being answered - it's due to their telecomm provider upgrading lines (data and phone). This is also addressed by Apex in that thread.

I knew this all sounded familiar, I am a subscriber to MaximumPC and they have a big write up on this company in the Watch Dog column of their May 2004 issue. The write up is less than flatering and what I got from the write up was to avoid this company like the plague. Hell this company still owes MaximimPC for unpaid advertising.

All right, 10 more minutes left. I wouldn't be surprised if this deal is still running tomorrow though

I would be careful of that promise. they credit it back to you, but often the investigation will turn up not enough info for them to side with you. Thus they will still charge you. That is my experience with CC companies that are not very dedicated to protecting their customers. AMEX is still the best Too bad they are not accepted at AI Computers

nope, citibank takes the charge off your back and puts it on the reseller. also, its pretyy easy to prove that they didnt ship a computer i.e. they cant provide a tracking # or a shipping confirmation

The company is about an hour drive away from where I live. If a couple people who place orders PM me just let me know you ordered one, and if it goes sour I can figure out a time to stroll down. Its by a big outlet mall too so no skin ogg my back.

It's officially 29th now (they are in Farmingdale, NY, so I'm assuming they're using Eastern time), but the code still works. Fishy, really fishy...
