Anyways my roomie moved and purchased a smaller and newer laptop and sold me the ronin II.
Which I know currently have. My question is, What ever happened to them. I haven't yet tried calling them. But when I tried to visit thier webpage, it seems they have disappeared... All I seem to retrieve is this Taurus.Priced2go.NET. After further research on ICANN's whois here is the registry information

Domain Name: VICIOUSPC.COM
  Registrar: NETWORK SOLUTIONS, LLC.
  Whois Server: whois.networksolutions.com
  Referral URL: http://www.networksolutions.com
  Name Server: NS1.PRICED2GO.NET
  Name Server: NS2.PRICED2GO.NET
  Name Server: NS3.PRICED2GO.NET

  Status: clientTransferProhibited
  Updated Date: 12-jun-2006
  Creation Date: 11-nov-2001
   Expiration Date: 11-nov-2007

The domain is set to expire in less than a month? My only guess is ViciousPC has gone out of business.
Not good, especially since, I was hoping to send in my laptop back to them to get refurbished.

The power source half works and the contacts to the battery somehow don't touch, so basically it doesn't work
without the power cord. The keyboard was sent in once by my roomie and I need to send it in again for repairs

This time the keyboard enter key broke off. One the internal cooling fans is dying and needs to be replaced,
although I probably could do that myself.
. From what I remember City of Industry is located
somewhere in Los Angeles and many Tech Companies reside there, such as Newegg.com.

Hopefully I can find a computer notebook repair company soon.

Here is some contact information I do have from ViciousPC from when I orginally placed the order 2 years ago.
