[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 684177, member: 24098"] What's wrong? Because they're proprietary, non-standard motherboards. Any time you have a piece of gear that is proprietary to one vendor, it's more expensive. The same goes for any industry - ever need to get some part for your car that is specific to your model? You'll pay through the nose. Exactly. Well, to be honest, Psystar isn't exactly using high end components either. For your $400, you get a $20 case and a generic, sweat-shop constructed power supply that will likely last the first 6 months or 40 hours of service, whichever comes first ;) [/QUOTE]
