Staff at CNET managed to get a review unit of Psystar Mac clone and they have lots of photos to share. There will be a formal review from CNET soon.

Psystar is offering $399 for a Mac Clone called OpenMac. On their website they are calling it “The Smart Alternative to an Apple”. The clone will run Leopard unmodified on the intel-based OpenMac.

From Psystar website, “Why spend $1999 to get the least expensive Apple computer with a decent video card when you can pay less than a fourth of that for an equivalent sleek and small form-factor desktop with the same hardware.
