 Looks like Psystar will be here for a while. They have gone through the first rounds of doubts and have delivered. More important is that Apple hasn't really tried to stop them.
With the first round of Open Computers out the door, they have taken the base model they started with and have upgraded the case on it. This is not an upgrade to the components, but rather an upgrade to the casing. It used to be available in the beige or black, but the new case sports a black/silver option only. It still has the 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processors and the 256MB video RAM, but they now offer a plethora of operating systems. You can get Ubuntu 8, CentOS, or Fedora installed for free. Windows XP or Vista is available as well as "running unmodified OS X Leopard kernels" for an additional charge.
The Open Computer stays at the $399.99 price and the Open Computer Lite is still at $299.99. The Open Computer Pro does not share the same case, but it looks like it has a new case as well and is still $999.99.
