1. Bum deal. Glad to see it worked out though. You’re going to like that case. I have that very same one housing one of my machines at alienwebshop.com

2. i like many others placed an order with internetishop and still haven’t recieved anythig. i placed my order on 9/1/04. i found out they went bankrupt and was wondering if anyone else has had any success or info or advice on getting my money back. thanks

3. My friend ordered an AMD 64fx from internetishop and I ordered and Pentium 4 3.2 ghz. Both came pre-broken, my problem was the keyboard and his was the power supply. He sent his back, I just installed a USB keyboard and paid them 120 dollars for a replacement laptop keyboard. Over a month later I have not heard a thing about my keyboard and he hasn’t heard anything about his computer. We’ve both called, wrote emails, everything, and both have gotten absolutely nothing. I really hope we both didn’t get screwed (especially him considering his comp was about $2,000) If anyone has any advice on what to do please email me because I’d really like to get my money back at least.

4. Regarding your orders, just dispute the charges with your credit card company (both the systems and the replacement keyboard). Since both the damaged keyboard and the broken power supply make your systems unusable in their current form you should be covered by fraud protection. You’ll probably get out of the deal with a free laptop that you need to find a replacement keyboard for (most laptops are fairly standardized) and a free desktop your friend needs to buy a new power supply for.

5. I have purchased over 100 laptops from ishop in the last year, and I am getting a kick out of this. Remember Ishop uses major manufacturers and for all your current products you can get warranty service. If a part goes bad call the manufacturer and most likely it is under warranty. ECS produces most all of Ishops laptops. If all else fails charge back if you can.

7. I purchased a pc case and motherboard / barebones around the 24th of september for InternIship. They are gone and evidently bankrupt. I paid by credit card on their site and will do a charge back. I suggest everyone else with similar problems do the same.

8. The owners of this company are some Taiwanese. They just do’t have any ethics in doing business. I am glad to see they are out of business, but sorry for those who have lost money.

9. My brother is over in Iraq and I have been taking care of his affairs. He dropped his laptop off to internetishop two days before he deployed. Does anyone have any further information that I can pass on to the JAG Lawyer. Let’s work together and get these assholes.

10. I orderd a computer from them,it was a month late. and half the parts were missing. there costermer service is crap, and im still waiting on some parts. I guess im lucky though because im only out like a few houndred dollars. but im a college student I cant afford that, I think getting the “Judge Advocate General” involved is a great idea hopfully they could investige these Assholes!

    Comment by Jason | October 17, 2004

11. I am really sorry to hear that you are all having such a hard time with this company. I bought my Laptop from Ishop about a year ago and I have had no problems with them at all. My laptop is the same machine I am using to write this comment with. It sounds like things went sour after I got my machine from them. I am a little dissapointed since they did have great prices and from my experience from them I got a great product and I got it with in 24 hours from the time I ordered it. Oh well good things always come to an end. Or in this case good things go bad then come to an end.

    Comment by Brandon | October 21, 2004

12. I have 75 customers waiting for Hugebee to ship them their computers and have about 200 customers that are still under warranty!

    Comment by Tom | October 21, 2004

13. This does not sound good at all. I purchased two computers from IShop this year. One of the computers will not power up at all. I called today and none of the numbers are working. I need to get my part replaced because this was my DC in my business. Any suggestions? Please help!

14. Guys…, I found this article in a Forum. Hope it helps.

    Hello,

    I am a CEO of a webdesign/services firm. I recently purchased a computer via InternetIshop and within three weeks my harddrive failed. I tried contacting them and realized… There not in business anymore. I also stumbled across numerous forums like this one. Where people like yourself and I have been ripped off by InternetIshop and Hugebee. I am currently working with a lawyer and am willing to start a class action lawsuit against InternetIshop and its affiliates. If anyone may be interested in signing a petition and joining this legal action please visit: http://cyberneticdreamz.com/internetiflop/

    Thank you and I hope all can be resolved to everyones benefit.

15. I am really sorry to hear about all that happened to the people that recently ordered from internetishop.com. However, I just have to say that while they were in business they gave me great service and had really good products at a low price. I was sad to hear they were OOB, but what they did on their last month is inexcusable. Hope every body gets their issues with them resolved.

    Comment by Hector | October 24, 2004

16. I loved purchasing dildos from their site. Good quality, at a great price, it really beat the crap outta the retail store prices. Its a real shame, cause i emailed them to ask them when their latest shipments of vibrators was coming in, and they said this weekend, but now they’re gone. Bummer.

    Love to all women:

17. I too was screwed buy this company. I used my hard earned paypal money and went to ebay and bought a $1368.00 27″ LCD from these guys on Sept. 2nd. I called them many times then one day there web page was down, phones didnt work, emails were returned. Paypal and ebay both cant help me. I’ve emailed and filed complains at noumerous places. I was googlin internetishit today and came across this…

    Internetishop.com - Bankrupt

    I received a call from Detective Bercher, Pomona California Police Department today regarding the Internetishop.com. According to the detective, Internetishop.com filed for bankruptcy on 22 Sep 2004. The bankruptcy was filed in the U S Bankruptcy Court in Los Angeles. The first hearing regarding the bankruptcy is scheduled for October 26, 2004.

    Seems well have to wait and see what happens…

    Comment by Jeff | October 31, 2004

18. This is all really strange. I have purchased three full machines, and many parts from them, and they are all still in perfect working order. I cant begin to understand how a company that on the surface seemed to have a strong, supportive, client base could fold so quickly.The most perplexing thing to me is the manner in which they went out.

    Comment by Josh | October 31, 2004

19. I’ve bought three systems from them over the years. I’m sorry to see them go; they were friendly and responsive — then poof!

    Comment by Nobody in particular | November 1, 2004

20. what is the following of the first hearing in the LA court!?! Ishop is a bummer..they lied too many customers.. They cant just run away with our money.I’d want to know the next process of the court hearing..

    Comment by Kalvin | November 3, 2004

21. I have purchased 2 phones, 2 aircards, 2 cameras and a laptop from ishop. I too have exeperienced problems with some of these products and did have problems with their customer service. Oddly enough I would stay on them about it and everything always was resolved. I kept going back for the low prices. My current beef is that the software that they sent me for the aircards is French (although the cards work great, Benten, check them out), and our 2nd digital camera randomly reformats SD cards. Shitty. I have emailed the above about the lawsuit, and have thus far gotten no response, but I am sure that this person is getting inundated. My laptop, first digital camera and aircards are all badass and were bought very cheap, but I guess too good to be true is once again proven.

    Comment by Matt | November 6, 2004

22. I purchased a loaded Athlon XP 1800+ from InternetIShop about a year an a half ago. The deal and service were so good that a friend of mine got the exact same machine and they knocked off more money because I referred him to them. The machines are both perfect and my experience with the service was great.

    I only found out about all of this because I was looking to buy another system from them. I can’t believe how poorly they handled all of this; blatantly stealing from people.

    I guess some businesses don’t show their true colors until they are going down.

    I hope you all nail the a-holes!

    Comment by Tom | November 7, 2004

23. For those who have been stung by Internetishop, operating out of Pamona, CA…you may want to check out Internetishop out of Canada. They still have a web site running there…www.internetishop.ca. I was lucky I purchased about 18 months ago 3 complete systems. They were good computers, but the people were the worst I had met…I knew they would one day be ripping people off. I believe they were getting on the order of 10 to 15,000 orders per day. They were also on the vender list for the State of California, but they probably gresed the skids from the inside there and there will be no retribution. I don’t know the laws about justice across borders, but it is worth the look into whether they are doing business there.

    Comment by rmb | November 7, 2004

24. For those who have been charged but have not received the ordered products, I would suggest that you check with your credit card company for a possible refund. I heard that it is very likely for the credit card companies to reimburse you in situations like this.

    Comment by James | November 11, 2004

25. I bought a laptop from InternetIshop in february and purchased a 3-yr warranty for about $175 then.

    My computer has recently developed some problems with the video card.

    Do you guys know if the warranty is transfered to someone in such cases when a company files for bankruptcy or does it just get void!

    Thanks
    -Krishna

    Comment by Krishna | November 14, 2004

26. Hey,
    I have some troubles too with my laptop and it has been giving me issues. I am still covered under the warranty. Actually, they sent me a couple of defective parts when I originally bought it, but I never got a chance to send it back. Was hoping to do it over the X’mas break since I figured I wouldn’t neet the laptop for work then.

    I know it isn’t as serious as people not getting their products as in the case of lots of people, but would still cost me a few hundred bucks if I get it done from some other place.

    Is there any update on the status of the company or the case? Does any law protect us from these kind of problems?

    Cheers,
    Abhi.

27. Hope my system doesnt break :’(… Got mine in mid august… oboy

    Comment by Don | November 18, 2004

28. Looks like hugebee.com has been purchased by a company called Sun Group. They are apparently a company that purchases assets of failed companies and either revives that company or sells off it’s assets.

    Looks like they are gone for good folks.

    Comment by cbtl | November 22, 2004

29. I bought an Awesome Case and a Motherboard from them last christmas, and then They let me return the motherboard for my money back, because I Found a better one I wanted at Newegg. Their service was awesome at the time. I am sorry to see them go, I thought they were reliably stable at the time.

    Comment by Marty M. | November 23, 2004

30. I’ve bought a few systems from them in the last 3 years — the last one was last Christmas, for my wife. Specs had a 400W power supply, but it wasn’t working well. Pulled the power supply, and found it was a 300W supply, with a small “400W” sticker over the original 300W rating. All of the other specs on the power supply were consistent with a 300W.

    Comment by Matt | November 23, 2004

31. I am sorry to see Hugebee aka InternetIShop go out of business. I have purchased many of their products and saved thousands on purchases. All of the computers I have purchased since 1999 are working. Sorry to hear about the people who ordered equipment during the time they went bankrupt. I do agree with some of the service about being put on hold and calling back an hour later, but they always helped me out.

    Comment by Terry | November 29, 2004

32. I bought a laptop from them earlier this past year. A few weeks ago, my Combo drive burned up, got so hot, the AC adapter in the back melted (the plastic portions) and finally disintegrated this past weekend. Disappointing to say the least, especially since it is still under warranty for anoter 4 months. I want to get it repaired, but have a slight problem with it, since they no longer are in business…

    Comment by Sean | November 29, 2004

33. I used internetishop as my supplier and got great service. Im disappointed that their business went to the dogs! I bought 10 computers from them and only 2 problems that they solved quickly! shame!

    Comment by steve | December 2, 2004

    Comment by Ali | December 6, 2004

35. Bought an AMD desktop from them last october. Had a problem with frequent crashes but they replaced the motherboard and cpu and it hasn’t crashed since. I thought the customer service was pretty good and probably would of purchased from them again in the future. Not sure what happened out in Poloma Ca.

    Comment by Mark | December 8, 2004

36. I am sitting here in prison waiting for my penilty verdict and I am god damn bored. I bought a fucking computer from the I shop so that I can work on my case and find the real killer. OJ Simpson who also has a Internet I shop computer is looking for his real killer also.

    OJ and I need our Internet I shop computers to find our real killers.

    Comment by Scott Peterson | December 11, 2004

37. My husband purchased 2 laptops fully loaded from them 2 yrs ago. He had them made to order and I have never had a problem with mine at all. His was stolen and went looking to buy another. We are very disappointed to see they went bankrupt. My laptop is fantastic. And one time when my hubby who is a truckdriver was out in Ca. and had lost a screw to the bottom of his laptop they even let him walk in off the street and they fixed it for him. We are very sorry to see them do this to others. We had great service from them and even reccommended them to my best friends daughter when she went to college. She too had a laptop made to order only in the last 10 months. She loves hers too and has had no problems. I wonder how a company so large could go bankrugpt like this. I hope all who got screwed by them do get their money back. And just file a complaint with your credit card companies. And if you bought thru ebay you should be covered. Lots of luck with your money recoveries.

40. I had purchased a number of things from them, and they were pretty good. My issue is that I need to get some more mem and a new CDrw for my laptop.

    I have discovered that the laptops are actually made in Germany under the name “Vega+”…and I have had almost no luck in finding manuals and info about them (most importantly I would like to get a tech manual, so I can crack it without tearing it up.)

    If anyone has any info regarding the Hugebee laptops (AKA the Vega+ N35x series) I would greatly appreciate it!!

    Mike

    Comment by Mike | December 20, 2004

41. Updates:
    http://www.gericom.com sells one of the laptop models sold by InternetIShop as the “Webgine” series. You can get parts and manuals from there.

    Also, http://www.hyperdatadirect.com sells many of the same laptops. They are an American company with parts and manuals.

    Of course, neither will likely offer warranty support…but at least you can get info and parts.

    Best of Luck,
    Mike

    P.S. I am still, however, trying to get info on how to properly open the case and replace a couple of components…as the std user’s manuals do not cover that.

    Any help greatly appreciated.
    Mike

42. I bought a desktop system from them about a year or so ago. At the time they were awesome, quick shipping, quick service, good parts, good computer. Wish everyone the best.

43. I bought a laptop from them last Christmas which promptly broke two weeks later. After calling them about 100 times, I finaly sent it to get it back two months later with a hole in the motherboard… they used the wrong screw fr the case and went right through it. I hope the owner gets extradited back to America and we can all gather and beat the fuck out of him.
    I promtply sold the piece of shit to someone on EBAY for $1000. LOST: $600

44. I am writing this post from my HugeBee laptop with an ATI Mobility Radon 9600 video card. One of my applications requires the update on the Card Driver… HugeBee is Gone… ATI Gives me the one finger salute since it is a laptop… Anyone have any ideas? Thanks — Michael

    Comment by Michael | January 22, 2005

45. I purchased a BareBones PC from them May 2004, P4-3Ghz, Foxconn Motherboard. First unit showed up all broken up, called them and they shipped out a replacement unit. Last night my PC quit, Foxconn will replace my Motherboard no problem if that is the problem. Not sure what to do if it is CPU, don’t know who to contact for that. Looks like it’s a dam good thing these Jerks are history.

    Comment by Ron | January 26, 2005

46. stumbled on to here - looking for the company I bought several systems from. Got real good deals, incl their 19′ flat monitors in a package. Everything is still working fine a year later - too bad, since I would have bought more.
    But it’s probably a good thing they are finally gone - since their final practices were obviously causing a lot of damage to people.
    Anyone know of another company coming even close to what internetishop had to offer?

    Comment by michele | February 4, 2005

47. WOW….makes me wonder….I received 220 laptops from hugebee in june of last year at a cost of $319,000 dollars…CASH… alot to manage as they immediately went out to students…and have rather significantly had enough HD failures and motherboard issues..about 25% now…but thankful my local vendor has replaced everythingno cost…mostly because i built into the bid specs that 3 yr all parts and labor warranty…so its his headache..but the ones i use have been great no problems…i’ll be interested to know what he thinks about Hugebee now….although i think he deals direct with ECS for his warranty issues…anyway….nobody likes a stealer!

    Comment by craig | February 4, 2005

48. I too have purchased a laptop from internetishop and what KILLS me is that I paid the extra $150 or so for the warranty. Now my fans are acting up, they click on and are very loud like they are dying, so of course I got online to call about repair since i have this killer warranty… and it looks like I am out of luck. I could have bought a similar laptop at Dell or Gateway for $1600 however I chose to support a local business that I though was doing something right. I guess that’s what I get. If anyone finds out about a class action suit I would like to know. Thanks.

    Comment by tearyea | February 9, 2005

49. None of this comes as much of a surprise to me. You see, I was employed by InternetIShop for a couple of months between July-September of 2002. While I was there I witnessed the typicallly poor treatment of employees. I hate to break out the ethnic factor, but- the owners were cut-throat capitalists only interested in profit much like many Tiawanese businesspeople operating in the Industry area of the San Gabriel Valley region of Los Angeles. They didn’t offer us (full-time employees) benefits of any sort, gave us “base + commission.” Base salary (for all salespeople was $1400-1600 and commision was .05% after-or if- we reached our 60k quota per month), brought lunch in so we wouldn’t leave- we were still expected to perform “customer service” during lunch. The company was also quite racist- no African Americans or Jews- and immediately fired people for asking for raises, breaks, lunches outside of the office, etc. I can’t remeber the owners name right now but the only thing he cared about was making money.
    I heard he owned a mansion and several luxuries in the Diamond Bar area- maybe you should all track him down and split it up.

50. I bought a Desk Top from Internetishop a year ago today, So far the only problem I have had with it is a OverHeating Problem, Which Unfortunatly has led to a toasty CPU (Needing to replace CPU at this time). Can anybody tell me if my warrenty would still be good, or did I get screwed like the rest uf us in here?? WHEN they were open I had no problem with the custimer service. I guess I got lucky when I replaced my speaker system (Original speakers that came with Computer were stolen, Bought and replaced with new Speaker system from Internetishop, recieved within 2 weeks of ordering and that was in Sept. 04′). Just before They went Belly-up.

    Comment by Don | February 16, 2005

51. I purchased a laptop from internetishop 7 months ago. I haven’t had any problems with it until recently when it started to make odd noises. Then one morning I find that my harddrive has fried and that 50gig of info is no lost. I have a year warranty with them and it seems that I’v been screwed. I would like to take part in a class action suit so that if anyone knows of any please contact me.

52. this sucks baddly i got 5 barebones from ishop and they are perfect. i was planning to build myself a better one for gaming and i had everything picked out but needed the cash i get the money and they are not there anymore. do u no any good site like ishop? e-mail me

    Comment by david | February 19, 2005

53. I think InternetiShop has changed it’s name to ExpressNotebooks. They are in the same building and doing a Google search on Hugebee turns up ExpressNotebooks site. Something fishy is going on here.

    Comment by Jeffrey Owens | February 23, 2005

54. I bought a laptop from Internet I Shop in october 2003 and the 3 year warranty. The power connection pf the plastic melted so i decided to send it to them to get it fixed. They called me a week after i sent it in which was Late July 2004 and todl me it was water damage and that it would cost about 250 to get it fixed… i said okay and they charged my credit card. Wheni called them back a week later the phone iwas disconnected and the website was down. That laptop cost me 1800 dollars and thats alot of cash for 16 year old. I did get my 250 back from my credit card company though. My friend told me i should back up all my files on my hard drive and i never did becuase it was already in the box and i was too lazy to do it and since that day i have been regretting it. E-mail me if ther is any news

    Comment by Eric | March 6, 2005

57. Question for teayear:
    How could they tell if an employee is a Jew? Did they discriminate against darker skin ethnicities? What are the basis of their discrimination. I still have a Huge Bee baseball cap at my bedside which I could use as kippah for Friday evenings. May be, I should throw it away.

    Are there many companies like that in Calif.? Is Governor Ahnuld Schwarzbuckler aware of the extent of discrimination?

    My experience:
    May 2003, needed a laptop quick. Paid $1100 for one with an Athlon. The next week, I went to Dell website and found I could have gotten a comparable Pentium system at the same price. Wanted to cancel but laptop was already shipped.

    Dell seems to sell cheaper to small business owners vs home users. Since then I have been comparing Dell and InternetIshop and had been amazed why there were people still who bought from Ishop when Dell had been selling cheaper?

    Can any/all of you who bought Ishop tell me why you kept on buying from IShop when they had been more expensive?

    Comment by Josh | March 8, 2005

58. Wow that really suprises me. I bought a desktop from them about 2 years ago, and the only problem I had was a bad power supply, nothing too major. I wanted to buy a laptop from them, but their website is no where to be found? I personaly had a great experience with them they were very helpfull. Only if I knew they were going to screw so many people and go bankrupt!!

    Comment by brad | April 7, 2005

59. i bought 2 amd hugebee laptops because they were priced right and i could put the OS i wanted on them. i also got the extended warranty. now my fans are acting up like a previous person posted. no bios settings to control the fans either.
    worthless piece of sh*t, i tried looking up the laptop’s case on google and all i find is the message board telling me how much im screwed with these things.
    if i ever meet the owner of i shop, im going to beat him down with his own half a** laptop.
    it will probably work better when im done.

    Comment by CC | April 8, 2005

60. used to work for this company. had worked for only about 2 weeks before I left because of the smoking in the warehouse. the bosses seemed nice but was kind of deceptive because they advertised in the newspaper that they pay TOP Dollars to people. When I was there, i found out they were barely paying me $8.5/hr assembling computers.

    you guys got to see the cars they drive. It was amazing. They had a mercedes cl 500 and a cl600, sometimes a BMW 745 would be parked at the front. Nobody I have seen had a cl600. I mean no body. But he has got one. that’s amazing. Imagaine the statement that car makes. It must be awesome driving that car around the town. i am glad to have left the company and have finally found a way better job. I have been hoping that one of these days I am going to bust out in a ferrari and watch them how they react to see me driving in it.

61. I’m not sure if it’s to late to sign the petition now or what good will it do for me because I need this problem fixd asap? However, today my computer just stop working!! It seems like I just brought my $1800 computer on 8/25/04 from them days before they closed.. I even drove up there to Pomona, CA because I needed it asap. They did seem disorganized and unprofessional but, I didn’t think to much of it.. But now I know, that was because they was going bankrupt!!
    I can only imagine how much it will cost me to repair my 8th month old computer now!!!!!!
    I still love America Co. but maybe not so much of Japan Co. now..

62. Too bad they’re out of business. I bought a laptop from them back in June 10, 2003. The machine is still running. I thought I’d try and upgrade the processor but I needed specs on what the motherboard could hold. So, I tried to get to their website and they’re out of business. Looks like i’ll have to find out from other sources what the MB will take.

    Too bad about them. They had real good prices and if I had needed some more stuff I would have checked them out first.

    I got a Huge Bee hat from them when I bought the laptop. Any collector interest in this?

63. Yes the I shop is out of business. If you need parts try ecsusa.com I called them several times but never got ahold of anyone in any of their departments. Also try http://www.gericom.com it is a German site that sells some of the I shops models or http://www.hyperdatadirect.com (finnaly got help there). ECS was the manufacturer of the I shops computers. Their site has many hyper links to their distributors. I had purchased a laptop from the I shop and my hard drive burnt and now the mother board is broke. Try the above sites…you should be able to find parts and manuals, good luck!!!!

67. I have an internetishop labtop and I need to replace the colling fan and the keyboard…But, I don’t know where to order them now that the ishop is bankrupt. Does anyone know who makes these parts and whether we can order them?

    Comment by Nora | June 23, 2005

68. I had a labtop that took almost 3 months to get fixed in May. I must have called 10 times before I cursed them out so they would quit giving me the run around. I was very close to getting a plane ticket and going up their they pissed me off so much. Then I bought two desktops in January of this year that have a 2 year warranty so what the F$@# am I supposed to do with worthless warranties. These people suck and if any one would need a real good ass whipping it would be them

69. I purchased a higher-end computer from InternetIshop almost two years ago and that machine works flawlessly. When I started looking for another computer (for my wife), it became apparent from the eBay ratings that all was not well with InternetIshop! I did not buy again from them, and now,I am really thankful that I did not. Folks, learn to study and respect the eBay rating system! Where there’s smoke, there’s fire!!!

70. I purchased a laptop from IIS back in early 2002. When I received the item, the power supply was missing and the computer was by and large crap. I called almost everyday for three weeks, until they finally conceded and agreed to send a replacement unit.

    The replacement unit sucked too. I spent another three months fighting it out with them to get a new unit sent. Finally, concession was once again provided and a replacement unit was sent.

    This unit worked well til I turned the power on. What a mess. Over the course of the next six months, I sent it back for *repairs* on eleven different occassions. Finally, when the shit failed on me for what would be the final time, I ended up having to rail them to agree to give me a refund.

    It sucks that all you folks lost money, but fuck em. I’m glad they’re out of business.

71. I bought a nice computer from them back in July 2003 for almost $1700. It had everything and worked great…except sometimes ‘the screen would not come up’. Since I called them with this problem when I purchased it, they told me it was no big deal and all I had to do was take the battery out and put it back in and that would fix the problem. This is what I have done periodically for the past two years (it only refused to light up once a month or so). However, now it has refused come up…and the old, reliable method of taking the battery ouy and in no longer works. Oh well…now, I have a two-year old piece of metal to hang on the wall…seems like the thing had a tempermental short in the motherboard that connected to the output device that finally gave out. Can this be fixed by anyone? Suggestions?

74. I bought a hugebee laptop from an auction site. They seem okay and the customer service are friendly. I didn’t know that they’re out of business. The machine is working perfectly fine. Just the annoying noise from the fan and probably try something to remedy the noise. I love the laptop cuz it is fast and still running LOL! Just sucks cuz you can’t upgrade the memory up to 1GB–only 512MB.

    Well, all in all. Hugebee laptop is good. Probably I just got lucky!

75. I CANT BELIEVE InternetIShop. I bought a laptop from them back in 04, it was a 2,100 732GN series laptop, the best parts on the market, well the fastest anyway. about 6months later i wrote them back saying that my laptop cooked itself. and in fact it did.

    My laptop was on my desk at the time, AC on and all, i really didnt like how hot it always was. Well anyway i was typing a paper, battery ran low, so i used the charger & finished typing my paper. The next day when i woke up, mind you my ssaver is that the screen will just turn off. IT didnt start up, the charging jack was fused to the charging cable, it got so hot it actually melted, sorta a nasty smell. I contacted them repeaditely about getting a replacement because the comp didnt turn on and it fried itself. I finally got a response from a DavidW. Great i had the 3 year EXTENDED warrantee and they sent me a whole new one, 3 ****in months later. Anyway im keeping this one alot cooler, i want to know how to change the processor speed in BIOS, either that or put liek a2.4 in it not a 3.06 P4. Any suggestions

    AHH I HATE InternetIShop…..

77. I have been having long term power supply problems on my AMD system. I bought another power supply and things straightened out. I blamed it on the motherboard, thinking it was just something quirky. Now I put another system together (Intel P4) so I grabbed that power supply (supposedly 400W) and am having problems booting up. I know that power supply isn’t delivering worth shit. Glad I found this site. I will ditch the HugeBee bullshit for GOOD and get a real power supply.

78. Anyone whom bought a Laptop from… Hugebee “internetishop.com” can find a nice list of replacement parts at http://www.sambyte.com…if your part you need is not listed you can send e-support an e-mail and normally they will have on there site in a week or so. I have had to replace my G736 mother board. I spent much time trying to find someone who makes the parts for them. Sambyte sells for all brands of computers made by ECS…ie hugbee/ishop ect. ECS.com is there website. ECS sitll makes the G736 but is for sale only in EU and Australia. Good luck!

    Comment by matt | November 25, 2005

79. Check out http://www.sambyte.com. They sell replacement parts for all ishop/hugebee computers. The manufacturere of ishop/hugebee computers is ECS. They are still in business and sell part to sambyte. If they don’t have your part E-mail them and they usually have it in a week or two.

    I had to re-place my motherboard in my G736. At the time they had no parts on hand but I sent them an e-mail and they posted it up for sale 3 days later. I think they only buy parts as they come on demand. Hope this helps your search to fix your problems.

80. Apparently I was a lucky customer. I ordered a high-end laptop in June ‘03 (3.04 ghz, etc) and it has worked perfectly. The one exception to this was when a little dust got in it and with minor bumps, the screen would go black. After just cleaning the laptop, inside and out with compressed air and such, it works perfect once again. Although now I am looking to possibly upgrade parts on it…

    Comment by John | May 15, 2006

81. I bought a desktop from them a couple of years ago. Within a few months it would quit working after running for a while. The first time they had me send the motherboard back and found no problem. It kept doing it and they wanted me to send the motherboard back. I told them I was going to send the whole thing back. They claimed they fixed it. All they did was manage to break the CPU fan mounts. I gave up on them. I replaced the power supply and it has not missed a lick since. I read in an earlier post that they found a 300W power supply with a 400W sticker placed over the 300W label. I need to go back and check that. It does not suprise me they went out. Most likely they are operating under a diffent name.

82. I bough a laptop from hugh bee and a couple months later it would no longer boot up with out mutible tries. Now it won’t boot at all.

    Comment by Harold R Finnson | September 13, 2006

83. We have helped hundreds, if not thousands, of people with their Internetishop/Hugebee computers. We still have people calling to this day. When we can identify the problem or the ODM manufacturer we send them in the right direction. Here is our posted version of what happened back in 2004:

85. To be honest, I never ordered something from the internet before and I am sorry for those of you who lost there money.

    Comment by Technology Transfer University | February 7, 2008

86. For me is easier to go to a computer store and order there the configuration I really want. When it comes to expensive gear is better to take any precautions that can be taken.
