Psystar is still beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men aka Apple but now they’re shipping “OS X-compatible” machines with Blu-ray installed. Sadly, there is no built-in Blu-Ray support which means you’re stuck using Toast 9 to do anything at all.

In our experience, Psystar is basically selling bare bones PCs with a little tweaking – nothing you or I couldn’t do at home. The sheer fact that a small IT company is getting this much press out of doing something anyone with an Internet connection can do is disheartening, but it will be fascinating once these kids get hosed by Apple legal.
