Sale offer is $120 shipped
MSI Wind PC Intel 1.6GHz Atom 230
includes 2GB CORSAIR DDR2
Model VS2GSDS667D2
Low power consumption, just add hard drive and optical drive.
is it pretty? NO. VGA only, but might make a good low-cost G4 replacement.

Sure about that? It's not listed on the list of supported devices.
I'd buy one in a heartbeat, but there's no way I'd buy a machine that requires downloading a hacked version of OSX from somewhere...

From the Linky:
"You must use MSIWindosx86.iso (search for it on thepiratebay, as long as you don't have an irrational fear of eye patches). As a torrenting client I recommend uTorrent."
Think I'll have to pass...using a hacked version of OSX from a torrent site is not something I want to do...

well yeah, because you don't endorse theft.

But if I purchase/own a 10.5.x DVD, then I'm covered, license-wise.
Of course, it needs an Apple sticker to appease the EULA... 8-)

Beyond that, will it run anything beyond 10.5.2 (maybe 10.5.4?) I haven't seen anything later than that for the Wind series.
