Apple’s clone does not want to die

A copy of the latest newsletter of Psystar, an upstart clonemaker, published by the Unofficial Apple Weblog, said that the company is preparing to emerge from Chapter 11 bankruptcy proceedings, as well as it is offering a new tower based on Intel's quad-core, 2.66GHz Xeon W3520 at the bargain-basement price of $1,499.99. Besides, the company's newsletter, referring to their May filing for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection, says that Psystar is "now ready to emerge and again battle Goliath."

It is known that last week Apple convinced a Florida bankruptcy court to allow Cupertino to continue its copyright-infringement case against the annoying Hackintosher.

The Hackintosher's latest weapon in this battle, dubbed the Open(7), is available on the company's website ("In stock") with either 6GB or 12GB of 1333MHz DDR3 SDRAM, and either 7,200rpm or 10,000rpm SATA2 drives. Apple's Xeon 3500-series entry-level Mac Pro configuration, by comparison, tops out at 8GB of 1066MHz DDR3 SDRAM with 7,200 rpm drives, and starts at $2,499.

According to the newsletter, the Open(7) also benefits from "our innovative three-layer sound-deadening side panels and front door" which make the tower the company's "most quiet computing configuration available."
