It also goes into the face of Fanboys that says all PCs are ugly which is hardly the case being that there are a lot of PC makers out there that also make beautiful PCs.

Now there are ugly Macs and beautiful Macs, just as there are ugly PCs and beautiful PCs.

Ha! Ha! Ugly Macs!!]]>Aug 14th 2008 1:22PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/

Watch how they tear at each other and go for the vulnerable areas, like design and function.]]>Aug 14th 2008 2:52PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/
OEM cases aren't the prettiest but I don't think they're hideous either. You can easily buy a 3rd party case and swap your OEM guts into it. IF you want good looks and don't mind putting down $125, Antec's P182 case is perfect. If all you want to spend is $45 on good looks, Cooler Master's Centurion 5 (the silver trimmed version) is perfect. Those are just my personal preferences in those price ranges. There are aesthetically pleasing cases below, between, at, and above those prices.

I personally hate all-in-one desktop solutions (I hate being forever locked into the hardware config made at purchase). But you know Dell's XPS and Sony's VAIO all-in-one desktops are sexy as hell.]]>Aug 14th 2008 2:59PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/Second, while it is illegal, it's nice to have a competitor in an industry where Apple holds a monopoly -- Macs.
Now, I know Psystar should have gotten permission from Apple, and probably wouldn't have gotten it. But I'm rooting for Psystar to fight this lawsuit off. This is a case of antitrust in the Mac PC market.]]>Aug 14th 2008 5:03PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/
OK, fair comment - I'd forgotten about the Dell Hybrids. The small size, curved case design, colours and the useless stand does produce a nice looking unit. As I think I mentioned in my comment for the original announcement, the design is quite un-Dell-like and I hope they continue.

@The Dude

I think we have different ideas of what represents something that "looks good". The Antec P182, for example, looks a lot like my fridge and not in a good way. There's definitely the possibility of horrible things happening there, like discovering that in your drunken state you put the remains last night's curry in it. It's going to smell and their may be fireworks...

With respect to the others, the Centurion 5 is pretty dull looking, the Dell XPS does nothing for me, and the VAIO looks like a big digital picture frame, which might be the objective.]]>Aug 15th 2008 3:54AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/Aug 14th 2008 12:36PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/14/psystar-says-it-is-definitely-still-shipping-its-mac-clones/

*obvious snarky question*

If your statement were true, then why does Apple even offer different versions of its hardware? Apple OSX runs the same (100% potential- right?) no matter what memory, processor, graphics, etc. your system comes with?

Thanks, you just made my theoretical Mac purchase easier. No need to go for the TOTL 8-core Mac Pro because the Mac Mini can do everything just as well...
