Stinger 553 SFF Rugged PC

Wow, I couldn’t understand why someone need a pc like this Stinger 553 from CodaOctopus Colmek. Comes in an aluminum casing with 5- x 5- x 3-inches dimension, Stinger 553 compatible with MIL-STD-810F and MIL-STD-461E environmental standards and MIL-STD0704E power supply voltage standards meaning this small rugged pc can survive on vibration, dust, humidity and sandblasting.
The processing power comes from an Atom processor, 2 GB RAM and 128 GB HDD.No words on its price yet. [source]

Very neat product idea, but too bad it is purely “Vaporware.” A colleague of mine called Colmek this week to find out about availability, and they claimed the product is a built-to-order concept, not a COTS product available off the shelf yet. The Atom CPU board isn’t even in production yet. They seem to be fishing for a customer to fund an NRE project.
A scary observation I found on the Colmek Website — I noticed that they plagiarized the MIL-STD rugged switch and mobile router products made by a competitor I am familiar with, Parvus (www.parvus.com). Colmek literally cut and paste the product descriptions for the DuraMAR and DuraNET products, tweaked the brand names a little and posted a mock-up of a different CAD rendering to suggest it’s their own idea. Who are these guys fooling? Wasn’t Colmek in bankupcy just last year? I guess when you’re out of money, you resort to these sort of shady marketing tactics. Pretty low.
I wonder if Parvus intends to offer an Atom-based mission computer in their DuraCOR product family? Anyone know about GE Fanuc or Curtiss Wright?
