Apple PsyStar introduced its Mac clone to much media attention back in April, causing many discussions about the company's legal status, the validity of the Mac OS X EULA, and even PsyStar's very existence. It soon turned out PsyStar was a real company, and was actually shipping the OpenComputer Mac Clone to its customers, to generally rather favourable reviews - not stellar of course, but acceptable, with the biggest downside being the inability to use the Software Update tool, forcing users to download OS updates straight from PsyStar's servers - to prevent updates from Apple hosing the OpenComputer. We're a few months later now, and a few things have changed.

Nice Computer... Noisy though.

A friend of mine who ordered one loves it... However, as a Mac owner (A real one), I must say that it is much louder than a similarly equipped iMac. I like the fact that my iMac is completely silent (With a minor exception of intensive DVD operations)

But hey that's just me. Like I love to say "Whatever works for you".

Just spend $100 on a good aftermarket case like an Antec Sonata. Spend 30 minutes swapping the guts over to the new case. I can only tell my computer is on by looking at the power light - it is silent from 0.5m away.

Psystar's idea is to sell cheap machines. A $100 cabinet is not :-)
