I had a Siemens-labeled (and I guess Siemens-manufactured) desktop PC in the early 2000s, crazy to think about it now.

There are very small companies building PCs nowadays, see Framework, Pine, Purism, etc. So a much larger company can do it too without even thinking if they should. Also they are more B2B oriented, and the consumer part was probably a side effect. Further they were probably using headless PCs in their industrial systems too. It's not at all strange.

I think that part of Siemens ended up with Fujitsu. No idea so what happened to them.

We had Fujitsu-Siemens PC's at a previous job. I think at some point they dropped the "-Siemens" part of the name so I guess Fujitsu bought out the shares and went all alone.
