Psystar OpenMac: Buy it before Apple Legal kills it!

Psystar’s OpenMac is, in fact, a PC tower fitted with components similar to the Mac Mini but which allows the Psystar to install OS X Leopard without patching by means of an EFI emulator.

There are bound to be problems. First there is the legal issue of breaking the OS X license agreement which clearly states:

“You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so.”

Secondly, Apple could very easily break the Psystar setup in the next upgrade to OS X making this system a very short-term solution.

Anyway, if all you need is a modest Mac-compatible machine on which you’ll probably never be able to upgrade the OS here are the basic specs:

• Intel Core 2 Duo 2.2GHz processor
• 250GB hard drive
• 2GB RAM
• Price: $399
