Psystar’s Open(3)
Despite being locked in a legal battle with Apple that could result in Psystar’s getting shut down the company recently released its latest model, called the Open(3). Psystar’s latest Mac clone has managed to ship out. Well, this one has but it may be the only one. The company has been battling with Apple for months for selling OS X-equipped machines without Cupertino’s blessing.
It has a range of processors ranging from a 2.8GHz Core2Duo E7400 up to a 2.53GHz Core2Quad Q8200, up to 4GB of memory, 1TB of storage, a 6x Blu-ray burner, and graphics from an NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT, all packaged in a slim case(above). Prices start at just $599, but with all those extras you’ll be looking at something closer to $2,000, which is still close to $1,000 less than a comparable Mac Pro.
