I love that you guys think this guy is crazy. The guy I bought a G90 from last year had it in his warehouse for over two years. He had advertised it on CL with hardly any nibbles. So, what should he do? It is not like these things are small and easily put in a corner.

I am not so sure....I have done some IT work for Robert Redford up in Sundance. If a PC went out in his office, I would replace it instead of fix it. The same can be said for Michael Jordan. If he is your client, do you replace a faulty projector or fix it. I would just replace it. Guys like Curt would have it apart in the space of an hour and try and fix it. Well maybe  But then again you don't mess with these people when you want to keep a reputation. |
Yes, all agreed, but what's to stop you taking the old unit away and selling it on??? This is my point, not that the original owner shouldve had it repaired!!

Maybe, and some are also extremely greedy and heavily driven by it too.

The lawsuit you'd have if you sold a computer of a celebrity. Then TMZ would report what kind of porn they'd like based on the contents of their hard drive..

ok a quick update on this beast of a screen. The unit is a high power model. It has a gain that has to be above 2.0 . What is strange is as I was playing with it, the picture has hot spots when it is on the ground. But when it is level like on a table, It looks awesome. The gain really does effect it. But if I ceiling mount this bad boy, It will be almost like on a table as my ceiling is very low.
