Psystar supported the new hakintosha distributor
Despite the lawsuit filed against Psystar , the new company Open Tech announced the release of its own Mac OS X-compatible personal computers and claims that the owners of the company are aware of Apple's puncture, which is able to protect them.
Open Tech follows in the footsteps of its now well-known predecessor and launches two supposedly "open" personal computers - a budget version of Open Tech Home and Open Tech XT based on a four-core processor. Both builds are regular Intel-based systems based on widely available (and somewhat outdated) hardware.
Unlike Psystar Open Computer (formerly OpenMac), Open Tech intends to ensure compatibility with Macs while simultaneously avoiding a conflict with the Apple Software License Agreement, which prohibits selling Mac OS X to be installed on non-Apple hardware.
Instead of installing Mac OS X or attaching a license disk to the purchase, this company offers its customers a mysterious do-it-yourself series guide that, step by step, will help them install a separately purchased copy of the Apple operating system. The company itself thus avoids the responsibility that falls on the user.

Although, claiming software compatibility, Open Tech still runs the risk of stumbling on the same pitfalls that last week led to a lawsuit against Apple Psystar, details of which managed to find out AppleInsider .
While Apple’s main complaint in the 35-page lawsuit is that Psystar installed (and allowed others to install) Mac OS X without permission, the document also accuses this company from Florida (founded — as it is now known — by brothers Robert and Rudy Pedraza) in violation of copyright simply showing Apple trademarks without permission. The document also talks about the damage Psystar caused, creating an impression for customers that their products are “blessed” by the Mac creators.
The consequences of losing the court for Psystar will be even more serious than expected, and will serve as a warning sign for Open Tech and other companies. In addition to immediately closing sales of all Psystar products to which Mac OS X Leopard is attached, Apple’s lawsuit also requires the court to forcibly remove all systems purchased by customers from Psystar, because they diminish the company's image, presenting Apple products not in the best light, including breaks and imperfect patches.
Although it is unlikely that people from Open Tech knew about the true nature of the Apple lawsuit against their friendly supplier, it seems that the new player in the market is aware of the possible risk and is trying to hide its own location. Prices are in US dollars, but the site itself is located under the domain registered in Tokelau in New Zealand, and the only known contact person is Elijah Samara, allegedly either an Apple lover from the UK who once left a comment on TUAW or a young American from Davy , Florida, head of computer company CPU Prodigy .
