Hoax.

Besides the obvious cut-n-paste square in the System Properties
close-up, the BIOS chip in the "photo" of the "RAM compartment" says
it's a "586 AMIBIOS" with a 1989 copyright date.  The  lidless photo
of the "processor" looks to me like the guts of a CD-ROM laser.

Buncha work do to all of that... some people have too much time on
their hands, I guess.
