PC Manufacture with low self asteam?
Came across a computer the other day that i found to be quite amusing from the name they gave it... and how they bolded it. Someone had a sense of humor... course it most likely means something else... but....
well heres a case picture of it...

Think the guys at Crytek need that unit  Maybe then they'd start making games without the suffix cry in them somewhere and off small and lonely isolated islands!

That really is funny. Reminded me of a programming company called Micro BS (a college assistant works there).

lol....that is hilarious. Seriously though, the program i used to ring people up when i worked at PC Club was called POS. And let me tell you guys something. It really was a true POS  . it would always crash, disconnect from the server, and all kinds of different things. Oh well, glad i don't work there any more.

we use a system called DPS at circuit city, not POS
but well, IBM makes DPS, and thus, they wouldnt call anything POS, if anything it would be BluePOS

It figures that IBM would have to be different, and call their unit the Di PSh!t rather than a POS.
