Yes that’s right you can now get Leopard without owning an Apple. (VMware doesn’t count here) Psystar has created hardware to support Mac OS X. Probably violating EULA agreement but here is the specs anyways:
iMac Wannabe
Case Color: White
Intel Processor: Core2Duo/2.2GHz E4500
Hard Drive: 250GB 7200RPM SATA
Graphics Processor: GeForce 8600GT 256MB (+ $110.00) (Upgraded graphic card to compare to iMac)
Firewire: 3 x IEEE 1394 (+ $50.00) (Must have a mac with firewire)
Operating System: OS X 10.5 Leopard (+ $155.00) (Oh yea, base model doesn’t come with an OS)
Memory: 2GB DDR2
For $715 .. don’t forget to add a 20″ lcd. (250) = Grand Total of $965
iMac = 1299
Mac Pro Wannabe
Comes a silver shinny case and sports a 600 watt psu.
Memory: 2GB DDR2 RAM
Processor: Core2Quad/2.6GHz Q9450 (+ $400.00)
Hard Drive: 1 TB 7200RPM SATA (+ $150.00)
Video Card: GeForce 8800GT 512MB (+ $200.00)
Case: Black
Operating System: OS X 10.5 Leopard (+ $155.00)
For $1905
Mac Pro = $2850
Overall your saving money but not really getting an real Apple Mac. I’m sure Jobs and his crew is outlining which lawsuit to send over first.
