Unboxing the Fake Intel Core i7-920

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the recognize-boo-yaka-shah dept.

SkinnyGuy writes "The only thing more remarkable than NewEgg shipping fake Core i7 CPUs to customers is getting your hands on one and checking it out. Apparently there are only a couple hundred of these things in existence and Gearlog somehow managed to get and unbox one. The images are fascinating."

    IF you can keep your ad up to buy/sell one long enough to get a potential buyer/seller. There's none up for grabs on Ebay, and Craigslist keeps pulling my WTB ads. Something about having the word "Counterfeit" in the title... if anyone has one, shoot me an email, you've got an interested buyer. I'm not going to pay "full price" for one though :)

    Yeah, man. I've got your hook up.
    Put $300 in nonsequential, unmarked bills in a brown grocery sack. Leave it under the old bridge tomorrow at midnight. Walk towards the large maple tree and wait there. Once the money has been secured, you'll be approached by a man with your merchandise. He'll be wearing a white carnation. No speaking. He'll drop the envelope and leave. Tell no one.
