The one big hole in Apple’s lineup is a monitorless box between the closed box Mini and the ultra-expensive Pro that allows you to select/change the video board and hard drive. You know, like a PC.
The highly extensible OpenMac is a configuration of PC hardware capable of running unmodified OS X Leopard kernels. If you purchase Leopard with your OpenMac we will not only include the actual Leopard retail package with genuine installation disc, but we also include a Psystar restore disc for your OpenMac and we will preinstall Leopard for free so you can begin to use your computer right out of the box.
Question is if the company payed for the royalties to say (it’ll run leopard) let alone give out a copy of leopard with the computer. Every other PC out there that runs windows has to pay a sum to Microsoft. Did these guys? Or are they the typical Chinese bootlegger?
Link appears to be dead. At least from my computer.

i’m amazed this thing trickled all the way to DU without getting on apple’s radar – unless that explains the site being down now.
Good, maybe this will open the floodgates for Microsoft to sue Apple over Boot Camp.
Well, it’s been at least 8 hours and the site is still down, so..
Looks like Apple already got to them!
Frackin’ hilarious… these guys don’t get it:
1 Steve will hit them like a ton of bricks.
2 People want Macs, not only because OSX but because of the hardware’s/case/Logo design.
3 Can be cheap Macs, but still overpriced under equipped PCs. Worst of both worlds.
It was slow to come up—but it’s up. Not sure you can buy one though…
Well they could get problems from Apple basically because you can install an UNPATCHED Leopard.
since OS X needs to be patched to install on a pc because it checks for an onboard chip.
This means they’ve been able to duplicate that chip and fool OS X in thinking it’s installing on a mac.
So thats copyright infringement right there.
