Your Gadget Guide

Other Mac-cloners may know their time is limited, but good ‘ol Psystar just keeps on forging straight ahead — despite being locked in a nasty legal battle with Apple that could result in it getting shut down any moment now. Ignoring that (sophisticated looking) elephant in the corner for a moment, the company has released its latest model, called the Open(3). It sports your choice of processors ranging from a 2.8GHz Core2Duo E7400 up to a 2.53GHz Core2Quad Q8200, up to 4GB of memory, 1TB of storage, a 6x Blu-ray burner, and graphics from an NVIDIA GeForce 9500GT, all packaged in a slim case that, while not quite up to Cupertino standards, certainly looks a fair bit more visually appealing than its previous black boxes. Prices start at just $599, but tick all those option buttons and you’ll be looking at something closer to $2,000 — a lot, but close to $1,000 less than a comparably spec’d Mac Pro. Get ‘em while you can.
