Even while doing battle with Apple (since last July) Psystar is insistent on continuing forward. They have just announced a new slimline tower capable of running Apple’s Mac OS X 10.5, starting at $600.
For $599.99 customers can purchase Open(3), a slimline tower with a 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 2GB of DDR2 memory, NVIDIA’s GeForce 8400 GS 256MB graphics card, and a half Terabyte hard drive. FireWire, 802.11n wireless, and USB Bluetooth adapter are not standard, and cost $79, $99, and $40 respectively.
Other upgrade options include, a 2.53 GHz Core2Quad ($180), 4GB of memory ($50), 1TB hard drive ($100), additional hard drives ($99 to $199), and a Blu-ray burner. You can also purchase higher performance graphics (GeForce 9500GT 512MB) for $119.

In the mean time while they have Apple tied up red tape, it looks like they are going to make some sort of money off of this.
