News Release For Immediate Release Hiawatha, IA (May 26, 2009) - Crystal Group Inc., a veteran-owned small business and manufacturer of rugged, commercial-off-the-shelf (COTS), custom-developed computers, displays, switches and storage devices is pleased to announce their computers are featured in key scenes of the recent movie release: Terminator Salvation. Crystal Group’s RS47F and RS234T rugged servers, and rugged displays—including the RD2217 are featured prominently as work stations in the command center used by John Connor and his fellow Resistance fighters. Crystal Group servers and displays were chosen for rugged design, use in military applications, and presumably their ability to survive the nuclear annihilation brought on by Skynet in the film. Crystal Group’s futuristic design and construction techniques were deemed to be an excellent fit for the period of the film. The servers and displays also have the look and functionality award winning Set Decorator Victor J. Zolfo was looking for. Crystal Group Inc. is uniquely postured as one company with three business competencies. As a rugged server/systems manufacturer, systems integrator and custom design team, Crystal Group is well positioned to quickly and cost-effectively address all aspects of their customers’ projects.

Set in post-apocalyptic 2018, John Connor is the man fated to lead the human resistance against Skynet and its army of Terminators. But the future Connor was raised to believe in is altered in part by the appearance of Marcus Wright, a stranger whose last memory is of being on death row. Connor must decide whether Marcus has been sent from the future, or rescued from the past. As Skynet prepares its final onslaught, Connor and Marcus both embark on an odyssey that takes them into the heart of Skynet’s operations, where they uncover the terrible secret behind the possible annihilation of mankind. Terminator Salvation stars Christian Bale as John Connor. For detailed information on the film visit: http://rss.warnerbros.com/terminatorsalvation/.
