Video of Psystar's Mac clone

I hope Apple sue their asses for delivering badly designed junk.

i don't care if it's not entirely supported or if it's loud. i'm going to buy one A.S.A.P. and i'm gonna enjoy using it. i know it's not as purdy as a mac pro but if it's as capable as they claim it is i'll be completely satisfied. if you want me to provide a play by play let me know.

Am I the only one that doesn't think the monitor displaying OS X is actually connected to the box that's supposed to be running it? (shrugs) either way, this is going to leave a bad taste of OS X is a lot of people's mouths who pick one of these up.

A large part of the Apple experience includes the hardware as well as the software. That machine just don't give you the total Mac experience but I suppose for those folks who are used to cheap, crappy looking PCs it doesn't matter. Don't get me wrong I'm not anti PC (I actually use one at work) I just don't like loud cheap looking crap. Since they are getting ready to get sued anyway they might as well had provided something a bit nicer for the money they are charging. Dell makes better looking PCs why wouldn't I get one of those and install Leopard on there (via the various ways on the net) or just build my own and throw in a cool case.

I'll take a Mac Mini over this pile of junk. You can't even update it what a joke. Oh I just love the roar of computer fans non stop too.

We've been down this route before when apple opened up the platform - wasn't a good idea. Apart from nice clean code, one of the reasons macs run so well is that they use dedicated software on dedicated hardware. I would rather by a Linux box than one of these frankenmacsters!

Even though software update doesn't work, you can STILL download all of the updates manually off of apple.com. So it isn't like you would NEVER be able to update the computer.

I just don't get it... who is the market for this product in particular? If a user is advanced enough to not only know what this is but also have an actual need for it, shouldn't they be advanced enough to do this themselves? This is a solved problem.

The fact is that right now this is violating all sorts of apple contracts. What with psystar's established shady history, who would give money to these people?

I think the problem is that there is no comparable Apple product. The Mac Pros are off on one end and the Mini's on the other. I'm sure Apple could design some basic power management stuff to keep fans quieter though.

I reiterate my desire for the mini to die and be replaced by the "Mac" - no bloody Pro, mini, or i.
