‘OpenMac’ Promises $399 Headless Mac… But Not From Apple - Mac Forums
edit: The thieves from Psystar managed to piss of the OSx86 people!
One of the community member’s, remarks:
“The company gives NO credit to all the (OSx86) developers that worked hard[…]Psystar crossed the line though, this was meant to me nothing more than a simple hobby but they are trying to turn it in to a industrial chain and are trying to make money off other people sleepless nights and hard work, that is just wrong. We the members of________need to get a internet petition together and demand the discontinue of selling pre-installed leopard on them. It is fine they sell a computer that is ready for the install but they shouldn’t charge people for what they can acquire on their own for what it was meant for, a hobby and not for resale.”

It’s open. Try not to break anything. There are a good handful of “gotchas” and other bugs and things for me to work on — but I’m of the mindset that it’s better to get something out the door as soon as it’s cool enough. If you wait for perfection, you’ll never ship. (I built this purely for my own personal enjoyment of making things that people use and enjoy.)
A lot of obvious stuff will be coming soon. (Sorry though kapi, I can’t put a nifty little icon on your dashboard to “favorite” a post from there — unless a certain Manhattan-based startup is hiring — but I agree that’d be ideal for this sort of thing.)
Comments, questions, feedback, requests, and baked goods are encouraged. Thank you.
Yowza. Nice job Topherchris. As always.

When I started college, I had faith that I would be in classes filled with enthusiastic people who were ready and willing to grow. This faith has been long shattered, but it’s grown from indifference to frustration…]

“ I figured it would just be… plug in the leads to the logic board, screw in the bracket, good to go! But I opened the installation manual anyway. It said: Remove the memory risers (whah??), remove four screws, remove your video card (huh??), slide the memory case to the right, unpop this plastic cover thing, then (get this) use a blank PCI slot cover (!!!) to shim and work off the fan casing! Remove the fan casing, unscrew the PCI slot support (towards the front of the case), remove all four internal drives, THEN (finally) plug in the leads, route the wires up around behind the hard drive bays, install the bracket, then put everything back.
— so much for me taking advantage of the extra onboard sata ports… via accelerate your mac
