Psystar shows off Open Computer in a video


Psystar, the company that caused a bit of a stir recently by announcing a Mac-clone called "Open Computer" have now posted a video which, they claim, shows that machine in operation.

The video, which was posted on the Psystar website, presumably shows three Open Computer machines, running Windows XP Pro, Ubuntu Linux, and Mac OS X 10.5 Leopard, respectively.

On the page with this video, it says:

We've put together a little video to show everyone what Open Computers are all about. Open Computing is about having choices and we allow for Open Computers to be purchased with pretty much every major consumer operating system. Both Windows XP and Windows Vista cover most of the market segment while Ubuntu Server and Desktop represent the Linux crowd. We're bringing powerful and economic computers to a new market segment as well: the group that uses OS X.

If Psystar posted that video in order to prove that the Open Computer is an actual, working product, wouldn't it be a lot more convincing if they provided a machine to a well-respected computer magazine for testing?

Regardless of whether Psystar will eventually ship the Open Computer to customers, would you generally consider buying a Mac-clone?
