OpenServ Rack-Mount Servers and OpenGamer Gaming Systems OpenServ 1U and 2U Servers

We're proud to annouce the dual-Xeon capable OpenServ line of Open Computers. The Open Serv 1100 OpenServ 1100 is a 1U with four drive bays that provides up to 4 terabytes of storage and compatible with major server OSs like Microsoft Server 2003/2008, CentOS, Ubuntu Server, and even Mac OS X Leopard Server. You can load up an OpenServ with 16GB of ECC FBDIMMs and two Quad-Core Xeons. The OpenServ 2400 is a 2U version with up to 6 terabytes of raw storage space. You can have it similarly configured with 8 cores so that you can run even the most storage intensive databases or web applications.

OpenGamer Camps the Quad Damage

The OpenGamer makes a stand in gaming systems with a 45nm Intel Core2Quad Q9300 and an nVidia GeForce 8800GT standard. With SLI nVidia cards available your system configurations can range from "pretty good" to "outrageous." It's possible to run quad-GPU mayhem with dual-SLI nVidia GeForce 9800 GX2s. The OpenGamer features dual Gigabit LAN ports as well as Firewire 400 on board. With the OpenGamer you can get a system that is completely Direct X 10 ready making this a no-nonsense machine--you'll see from the price that it means business.

Prices start at $1599.99 for the 1U OpenServ and the 8800GT OpenGamer.

Could be decent machines, but they're losing a lot of the appeal they had with the rock-bottom prices. They may have a harder time when prices start at $1,600.

Given the luke-warm (ice-cold?) response to this "news" I would say the whole Psystar experience is losing its appeal.

They just need to stop making these Low quality, low end, mediocre crap they call computers...

Has anyone on MacRumors even bought something from Psystar?
