"L" computers....fake or for real?

[Rockford35]

Any of you guys heard of these guys? Liebermann Inc, they make these super computers, towers, servers, laptops, ect, all super high end with features like plasma displays and handmade cooling units (like mini AC generators). They used to have a website up that showed all their features, but now it's a single page with some photos and customer/fan e-mails.

I remember pricing out a desktop that had a 3 Terabyte hard drive and dual 5Mhz processors. It had a self contained cooling section and something like 16 GB of RAM. Plus a plasma display on the tower showing internal and external temperatures, touch screen display and adjustable environmental controls.

The thing is, there are rumours that these guys are fakes.

Anyone have any clue?

Great looking computers tho...

Some of the comments from their "customers" make it sound like they're a sinking ship even if they're not fakes.

Definately buyer beware.

Definately buyer beware.

At 35,000+ a unit, I doubt many of us could even afford the cases these computers come in.

This is not your everyday Palm pilot here.

I wish the site was still up. Their stuff was very, very cool.

Even if you move the decimal point one to the left it's still out of my price range for a computer.

Last year we bought 2 of these bad boys for one of our production environments.

Pricetag = ~1.5 mil each

Our software is small potatoes compared to some of the other software that our company sells and hosts. I can't imagine what some of the larger business units are spending on hardware???

5mHz? Wow, that's only 5x faster than my Commodore 64.

Good catch. 5Ghz will work.
