Is there anything we can do about this? I bet they are fooling a lot of newbies.
As if there isn't enough evidence, I'm gonna go ahead and beat on this dead horse some more, I hope you guys don't mind.
They just modified an image of an SSD card

This image:

and photoshopped it:

(above linked to imgur so they can't change it, original is here:

)
And they just used the specs from the the BFL Monarch

The best thing is that SkyMinerLabs actually weren't the first photoshopping ASUS RAIDR Express PCIe SSD. It was Virtual Minig Corp with their Fast-Hash PCIe modules:

(notice also the Chenbro RM423 4U rack chassis, image of which was also used by both Virtual Mining Corp and SkyMinerLabs)
