Some more information regarding PsyStar and its Opencomputer have surfaced, that try to dispel some of the doubts surrounding the company. Last week, the company posted a video online that supposedly showed the inside of the company, as wel as a bunch of OpenComputers running Mac OS X, Ubuntu, and Windows XP. In addition, a Gizmodo reader has sent a video to Gizmodo where he shows off his OpenComputer.

If you spec a Dell with exactly equal features to a Mac (x=x). The Mac is the same, if not cheaper price.
True, but meaningless. What counts is not whether I can duplicate a Mac configuration I do not want for less. What counts is whether I can buy a different, better value computer which I do want, and which serves the same purpose equally well.
You always can. This is why Macs are expensive, not because you can duplicate them cheaper, but because they are poorer value than alternative non-Apple hardware for a given purpose. This happens because of the restricted range and poor hardware at the bottom end. At the high end they spend too much money on expensive processors and extra cores where it does little good in terms of performance. The result, buy a more sensible computer, and get the same on the job performance for far less.
Unless you really want to put it in your coat pocket of course....
