This model though is a little bit higher end. You can get a Bare Bones with Windows or even with Linux. Now the open computer is actually pretty configurable. You see a standard hard drive here, there's a graphic's card, Intel Duo Core processor and 4 gigs of RAM between two memory slots. And as it looks plain on the outside, it's pretty straight forward inside as well. You're gonna have to provide one of those yourself. ![]() There's a set of ports down here, but there's no media card reader. So that said, the hardware itself is actually pretty straight forward. ![]() Pretty much just the basic looking desktop that happens around the Apple OS. There is no Bluetooth, there's no Wi-Fi, there's no little fancy remote control. This is pretty much the standard looking mid-tower.

And as we said, we're also happy with its performance because of the fact that it has a full pledge graphics card that's actually really fast as a gaming system for video editing and in general app performance that Mac many in all respects. We even connected an iPod and it recognized it with no problem. Pretty much everything we tried in the system performance as expected. We plugged in all kinds of peripherals, we've launched time machine, we got them on the web. Still it works and in large part mostly like you'd expect. ![]() It's sort of unpredictable at this point. You could end up losing some kind of functionality. If you do that through with a software update, you could end up breaking the system. The problem is that you can't update the software via Apple software service, so it's sort of frozen in time. We can confirm that it works and that is really fast and it's actually pretty affordable. It is not a system built with Apple's blessing that means, technically, it's a violation of the software terms of service. This is a little bit of a controversial PC, the reason being because Psystar built this system with Apple's OS X in it. Today, we're gonna take a look at the Psystar Open Computer.
