It looks like that even if I fullscreen my browser on this 1024x600 screen. Looks to me like the font's too big for the space allowed (which would agree with Craig's explanation of missing fonts if he's using some special fonts which happen to be a little smaller for their point size). I'm running Firefox on Linux here, for what it's worth.
While I'm posting, the category 'USB PCs & Media players (Linux, Android, H.264 etc) seems peculiarly named. What's with the 'OS, OS, video codec' bit in brackets? Just call the section 'USB PCs & Media players' - that's easy enough to understand.
Craig knows what'll bring the people back.........chocolate. Yea, it's damn good chocolate!
Sorry, just had a laugh at that. I really hope the chocolate is packaged seperate from the electronics, or a hot day might make for a bad package opening!
Seriously though, some good prices for Pandoras on there. Best of luck to you, hope your luck improves and you dig your way out of the hole you are in. You might want to mention on Kickstarter that the iCP2 is in mass production.
Oh, and CHOCOLATE!

Craig,
Good to see you're back. I hope you can drum up enough money to finish the ICP2 project and make everyone happy.
Good luck!
edit: gbax.com looks better now. (-:

I like the 25 Bars of Chocolate. 
That's something I'd be tempted to add onto an order.
Some text is hidden behind some images when the window width is narrow, as people have mentioned.

If you can find an ARM board with SATA, some people might be interested in that. More in the low energy NAS/server space than for gaming.

Constructive criticism was asked for about the site. No other issues should be addressed , there are plenty of other threads for that.

The design is a little 'Lings Cars' but other than the firefox issue already noted, it works. Lack of crazy daily offers though.
If sale proceeds from gbax of things Pandora related (such as batteries) go towards the pre-order queue then great. But if not, then its taking sales from Ed, which are then preventing the queue being resolved. Unreasonable to expect all gbax profits to go to the queue, but surely Pandora related stuff should.
I've bought many things from gbax over the years, from the gp32 onwards. But the answer to the above is more important than the layout, for me, and until confirmed, I couldn't order anything.

Indeed it does - that was quick! Only remaining issues here now is that the text 'We buy tech. Contact us to sell quickly. No auction fees, no 7 days waiting for bids, no non paying bidders. We're quick and easy.' and 'Crazy offers every day
Also, not sure what that weird character is before 'first come, first served!' - probably some sort of newline which got lost in translation when it was copied and pasted from wherever it was first written.

Which browser is this in? It sounds like the font sizes or the font isn't right.Indeed it does - that was quick! Only remaining issues here now is that the text 'We buy tech. Contact us to sell quickly. No auction fees, no 7 days waiting for bids, no non paying bidders. We're quick and easy.' and 'Crazy offers every dayfirst come, first served!' are overlaid, and the text for 'Original Pandora (refurbished)' overflows the box at the bottom by about half a line of text, which means the blue 'click here' link is over a dark blue background which makes it hard to see.
Also, not sure what that weird character is before 'first come, first served!' - probably some sort of newline which got lost in translation when it was copied and pasted from wherever it was first written.
I might have to use a default font maybe.
Could you look at the CSS/Html and see if you have the font or if it's got an error finding it?

It reminds me a bit of those Spanish evangelist radio programs where the fellow provides a continuous stream of loud, fast preaching. The use of color, bold, etc. is intended to draw the viewer to specific text or sections. The current design really doesn't do that. I would suggest that your reduce the fonts on the left menus and reduce the button and text size for your price, purchase, etc. Figure out 2-4 things that you want the customer to focus on and insure they are things that stand out. I would reduce the number of colors. If you need to uses shades, pick a few shades of the same color. Right now, nothing really stands out amid the assault of color, large text, etc.
Craig, I see the character in Safari, FF and Chrome.

I did answer this but the post has been moved(?) they inevitably will, as did iCP1 and iCP2 money. There will be new P1Ghz promotion happening soon too.
But let's just keep this thread on HTML fixing track.

It turns out I was blocking the googleusercontent font - enabling that makes the font smaller so it fits in the description box, so you can ignore that issue. That only happened because I'm using the NoScript plugin, and must've previously marked googleusercontent as untrusted.
The overlaid text just above the news is still an issue, as is the weird newline character. Here's a screenshot:
Hmm, it seems that 'weird newline character' is actually a weird png on your site, here: http://gbax.com/lita.png, I don't really understand what you're trying to achieve with that, but it looks deliberate.
I'm afraid I'm not really a web developer, so I don't know much about CSS, but looking at the browser's error console, there are a couple of dozen warnings about dropped declarations. I'd paste them here, but I can't figure out how to do that, sorry.

Did you hire a website designer without appropriate VM webrowser test-enviroments?
It looks like the site have trouble with dynamic page width. I see a scrollbar at the bottom with Fx and right side "Pandora Swap" Box is visible as "Swa" only. View setting: Zoom is set to normal, CTRL-0. UTF-8. Style Standard.

The site doesn't seem to have dynamic page width unless you shrink the window to be less than about 750 pixels wide. Any wider that that and the design defaults to be about 1100 pixels wide. Bit weird, but I assume it's intentional. It's certainly not the only site I see daily that defaults to a pixel width wider than my screen.
Speaking of the less-than 750 pixels scaling mode, it probably shouldn't be stretching the pictures like that. At 750 pixels they're significantly fattened, only becoming regular at about 300 pixels (and getting skinnier and skinnier at narrower than that). Also, at 750 pixels wide the 'SOLD' or 'REDUCED' backgrounds start to repeat, which doesn't look intentional, and also get cropped if the bottom of the text is higher than the bottom of the background image. Hang on, I feel another screenshot coming on:
Oh, and while I'm faffing around with screenshots, the site also behaves a little awkwardly at just short of 900 pixels, with some contents spilling out of their boxes, and some text disappearing under other boxes:
Yeah, doesn't look at all pretty at that width. Luckily, I can't think of any devices with that resolution screen on the market.

That price is half of the price I pay for them when I buy them new... I should order these 8 screens right away.

The site looks good to me, well done.
As for the behavior on narrow screens, I suggest to use a fixed layout - and if narrow screen is detected put an ad for HD monitor up top!
"Screen too narrow? Treat yourself to a GBAX HD monitor!
With 1920x1080 tasty pixels at your disposal, you need fear no website - no matter how wide it may be."
I'm tempted to buy various stuff, might call back if/when I have some spare money.
Sounds like those LCDs are underpriced, you might want to raise the price.

Because it comes with chocolate. Also I think you were looking at the dual core, the ad on GBAX says quad core.
