ok, how much? Im ready to spend...
The Commodore was engineered to fit a lot of computer into a little space. It’s powered by an Intel Core 2 Duo or Core Quad processor, with advanced graphics and fast DDR memory. There’s plenty of storage space — up to 2 Terabytes— for just about anything. [highlight]And it comes with any OS you choose (Mac OS X Snow Leopard not supported and must be customer installed) [/highlight] How can something so small be something so huge?
Hmmm.
And:
[highlight]Apple OSX can be customer installed using unmodified dvd install disk (requires additional optional hardware).[/highlight]

Oh man...I wrote my very first line of code on a Commodore 64.
I'll keep an eye on this.

looks fishy to me
LOOKS awesome. I drool. :love4:
Would look fan-diddly-tastic on my editing desk.
But . . . at the end of the day, it's just another computer, and not a very expandable one at that. And there's no Commodore mojo actually in it.

Well, you just made my day, sir!
This should be interesting about what "additional optional hardware" is required, and how it does an end run around the EULA.

The site does not make it clear. It offers many CPU chips, and Mac OS only runs on some of them. Also the Mac OS requires specific hardware such as wifi cards, graphics cards, and Bluetooth. You would have to order machines with compatible parts. This would be the optimal interpretation of their ad.
At the other extreme, they may offer compatible hardware but without the ability to mount the Mac Os. You may have to purchase a device seen on European eBays, a portable EFI boot loader that allows the Mac OS to mount. This is not consistently available and comes in several versions and they seem to periodically offer an new version that responds to Apple's attempts to stay ahead of it. So no guarantees that if your device works today it will work tomorrow.
The Apple software license does not allow Mac OS X to be used on hardware that is not "Apple-labeled." The legality of this restriction was recently disputed by Pystar, who lost an extended court battle with Apple. Pystar tried both selling out of the box compatible machines and also ROM dongles that allowed you to convert any machine with the proper hardware. Both were closed down.
Is Commodore trying to entice you to find ways to do what they cannot directly do? Lots of unanswered questions.
With all "hackintosh" conversions you are sometimes unable to upgrade to the latest version of Mac OSX, or at least until someone offers a new hack. Most of the DVXuser audience will be running Final Cut Studio on their Macs. When Apple introduces new versions they always make sure that it runs ONLY on the latest version of OSX. Usually the same with app updates. This is how they make sure that hackintoshes are difficult to use with the Pro Apps.
If you want a good idea of the issues in running Mac OS on non-Apple computers go to insanelymac.com.
Let me say that while I can easily do it, it is simply not worth the hassle and uncertainty. I run insanely expensive Mac hardware and love it.
