Hey everybody! Long time no see. Anybody ever heard of a fake IBM computer? I got this "bookshelf" computer with an IBM badge. I opened it up and none of the parts has a FRU number on them. Also, it has a Large sticker on the side that says "Made in Canada" with a model number of 912241E. I haven't found this model through Google and I am still trying to track it down and one of my methods is to check here. Its a year and a half old and its got a 1.1ghz Celeron. Points for anybody who can steer me in the right direction.

The link seems to be to non active. Go to IBM's website. There is a Search bar on this page and you can enter 912241e into it and it will take you to the page.
