Default Typo in your own advertisement
I just saw this ad today on a website and just had to shake my head.....

......and no it is not a photoshop, you can probably still see it randomly displayed at The Tech Lounge.
Only four words (maybe five) and they couldn't even get that right. I don't think I would ever trust hundreds of my dollars to these guys to build me a Gamong PC (whatever that is)...

In their defense they did spell Customize correctly and that's a harder word (for some) to spell then Gaming. Also the i and the o are right next to each other on the keyboard so it's more likely a typo then a misspelling. But yeah it still makes them look like idiots for not proofing their graphic before posting it.

What's even funnier is that there is another one of their banner ads at the top of that same site with the same sentence but spelled correctly.

Thats not as bad as the ooops CyberPower had on their custom painted system they were showing off at CES. you spend thousands of dollars on a super high quality finish to show off to the media....and misspell "Gaming".

ibuypower is actually a pretty decent company, I bought a system from them once. Good customer service, and they use namebrand stuff instead of OEM no name crap. Kinda overcharge on the labor costs though.

this was this year.....we were in the suite with CyberPower....they asked us not to take a pic because the people who had done this very expensive paint job had screwed it all up.......it was something really funny/dumb...Paul remembers it too, but doesn't remember exactly what it was.

Yeah, something to do with AMD's Spider platform. It was an uber high-end system, and our rep was shaking his head at the people that had performed the paint job for them.
