open3-osx4

Screw the legal problems – let’s keep selling OS X-based PCs!

At least that’s what Psystar appears to be saying by announcing their third OS X based desktop system – the “Open(3) with Mac OS X”. For $599 you get a system with the following specs:

  • OS X Leopard 10.5
  • 2.8GHz Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 processor
  • 2GB RAM
  • 500GB 7200RPM SATA HDD
  • 20x DVD+-RW DL drive
  • NVIDIA GeForce 8400GS 256MB single DVI card

Keep in mind you’re buying just the computer itself. You’ll still need a keyboard, mouse, and monitor to complete the entire package – a la Mac mini.

At $599, it’s certainly a better deal than the mini although it lacks the polish, compactness, and sexiness of the mini. Oh yes, there’s also the issue of the “hacked” OS X version that’s running on the box as well as the ever so slight legal conflict that Psystar is currently embroiled in with Apple.

Perhaps the motto here for Psystar should be – buy an Open(3) to help out defense team…
