The Open Computer/OpenPro is fully compatible with the OSx86 Project and is 100% operational out of the box. With no assembly required the Open Computer is a great value. You won't have to try to return parts because they're incompatible or don't work exactly as you'd like them to. Psystar has tested the Open Computer thoroughly and even run XBench to confirm the performance that is advertised. With this level of compatibility it's easy to install OS X Leopard on your own. Pick one up today.

Advantages

• Vanilla The Open Computer runs the Vanilla kernel with minimal kext patching
• Acceleration The Open Computer can include nVidia GeForce GPUs which are normally only available in Mac Book Pros or Mac Pros which are over 4x the price of the base Open Computer
• Power The Open Computer is faster than the entry-level Mac Mini and costs less

Results

The Open Computer mops the floor with the average Intel Mac Mini as can be seen from the XBench results (but the Open Computer shows up as a Mac Pro in XBench and isn't too far off from the average Mac Pro in it's base base base configuration). As a better performer for less the Open Computer is a superior product . New Xbench tests will be performed and posted here on both the Open and OpenPro computers.
