Apologies if this has already been posted elsewhere, I did a search and coudn't find it it...

Someone is selling an Intel Mac on eBay....

I really wish Apple would call eBay and let them leave that up, so Apple Legal could actually make an attempt to get a winning bid.

What better way to prove somebody is pirating a product, than to get a pirated copy sent to your lawyers office and/or a law enforcement office.

If you are selling any pirated Apple software, sending a copy to Apple Computer c/o Steve Jobs -- is a really bad idea. :p

That is just a PC that has been cracked to run OS X... read the Rumors page andyou would have known about that going around

Oh I know very well what all has been going on, I've been following it all very closely - just found this latest item and thought I'd post it, that's all. :cool:

Awesome, I love it! Yeah, that would be great. Well, this is only going to be the start of such incidents. As I said in the other Main Page thread, I sure hope Apple knows what it's getting itself into with this movie to Intel. Reagrdless, I'm excited to follow along as things unravel - er, develop. ;) :cool:
 
Anyone know what type of case that is? Haven't seen one like it before...

How has this thing lasted for 5 days? The auction is almost over! :eek:
 
Someone should point that out to Apple and then they could do what they want with either the auction or the user windows2003r2.

One would think that by now, with the auction being up for 5 days, that Apple Legal is well aware of this item. Perhaps this is a "publicity stunt" of sorts and Apple is the one who actually started the auction in the first place! :eek: ;)

Same place you send reports of any other eBay items like pirated versions of FCP etc.

Whoa, thought you were vniow for a second there... this has happened to me a couple times now... ;)

I would send in a report, but as I said, I'm sure Apple is well aware of this auction by now...

I was going to ask that myself. I really like the case design. If it has the right features and is easy to work with I might use it for my next build, provided I can find out what model case it is. Anyone?
 
The case is ugly, very PC like. Funny that it mentions being faster that a G4. Think that I would prefer a G5. Would wonder just how well it would operate.

Thanks, I didn't think to check the image source. Seems to be a pretty nice case definitely an option for my next build, I like Antec. If I go for the smooth and simple look I may get this one. It may not be a PM G5 case, but this case is about as unassuming as PC cases get. My next machine will be a real @$$-beater so part of me is tempted get something gaudy with windows and lights, etc... just to satisfy the 1337 gamer in me. :D

Excellent, thanks! Reading through the specs, it seems like one heavy duty case. No power supply included though...

Only 30 minutes left to buy it, hurry up people! :p ;)
 
People will sell anything on eBay for a buck... I wonder how long before we see some of Princess Diana's fillings for sale :mad:
