New Mac-clone computer maker PsyStar, has not been contacted by Apple or its band of merry lawyers as earlier speculated.

 

In fact, the now missing site, is being flooded with traffic and its servers just can't keep up. A recent test by the company showed 30,000 hits per second hitting the site. PsyStar is still selling its $399 OpenMac via email.

 

When asked about being contacted by Apple, they told us that have not been contacted but that, "they were ready." How the company hopes to evade the onslaught of Apple lawyers and the Apple Software License Agreement is yet to be seen.

 

Users interested in purchasing the Mac clone can email the company.

 

The basic OpenMac system includes

 

• OS X 10.5 Leopard
• 2.2GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• 2GB of DDR2 667 RAM
• Integrated Intel GMA 950

• 20x DVD=/-R Drive
• 4 USB ports
• 250GB 7200RPM SATA hard drive

 

Options include:

• 2.4GHz Intel Core 2 Duo
• nVidia GeForce 8600 Video Card

• Firewire

 

Update: Site is back up.
