Now this is something I can get behind. My main complaint with Apple is that I simply can't build one on my own without some hacks and tricks to get OS X to install, well this is the big middle finger to Steve Jobs and his heartless hardware selling empire. If this works I may actually use OS X for a change, although I really like Vista.
You don't get a feeling of true ownership with a computer prebuilt.

Huh. I’d love to try out a Mac, or an OS. I’ve been a Linux user for months, and I just recently bought a new Vista computer. I like it, but I have enough horsepower to run it. All the flavors of linux and windows, and I’ve never messed with a mac.
This can be cool.

Can’t get to their site.
Wonder if Apple Legal got them shut down.

You don't get a feeling of true ownership with a computer prebuilt. In terms of "ownership", plugging in a few cables and chips into a premanufactured circuit board isn't much different that buying a fully-assembled system off-the-shelf. If you really want to "own" your computer, then design your own processor and circuit boards, and write your own operating system.

I doubt the Mac OS includes video drivers for any hardware except their own. And why should they? That alone would discourage piracy.
