Check this out: http://www.snopes.com/inboxer/hoaxes/computer.asp
I just found this link while looking on the snopes web site and thought it may be interesting for others to know that it is false as I know this image was posted in the Off Topic section many months ago.

Edit: With the help of Google, I found the exact post that had this picture.
It's this one: "Off Topic" Forum Topic: The Coolest Thing Ever, Page 2 that was posted about 10 months ago.

This is why snopes is on the Best of Breed Reference Sites list. They are the vanguard when it comes to sorting out Internet hoaxes from reality.

@jd2066,

Not a false claim at all.
Many units were built and are still in use today.
The My Build Site uses fast similar equipment although I think the site has updated according to last press release.
Everything put up on internet must be true by law.
Best Regards,
Rick P.
