When we last checked in on super shady Mac cloner Psystar‘s gridskipping ways, they’d supposedly somehow managed to land a $6 million pad—a little fishy, given their brief history. A ZDNet reader on the ground got up close, reporting that there’s definite activity at the location, though no hard confirmation it’s Psystar that’s the busy bee. More importantly, Psystar claims they’re “up and running” and have started shipping orders placed the week of April 7, with orders from last week going out on April 21 from their new shop.
Tracking numbers are supposed to go out when your order ships, so if anyone ordered two weeks ago, you should have gotten yours already. And anyone ballsy enough to jump in after the slime started to hit the fan should theoretically get ‘em on Monday. If you’ve ordered one, let us know how it goes. A huge thanks to all of you pushing this thing forward, please keep the tips coming. [ZDNet, Thanks JB!]

Monday, April 21, 2008 at 11:02 AMThis is very obviously a scam. Their site is made with Joomla, their shop is vulnerable to SQL injection and only has 3 items – 2 computers (which are ridiculously cheap and claim to offer 8gb of ram..), and some network board which is repeated 10+ times on every page that isn’t about the “Open” computer or its “Bigger brother”. They aren’t a professional company – they have 2 employees, no authentication on their site, no bona fide shopfront, no manufacturing facility, and no equity. You’d have to be retarded to put in an order for these non-existant machines.
