- Ritornano i cloni da CoreComputers? (L. Pecorella S.D.)  17.46
Su Inside Mac Games è stato riportato il sito di una nuova azienda, la
CoreComputers, che sembra stia riproponendo sul mercato dei cloni
configurati con l'ultima serie di processori PowerPC G4. Nella line-up di
CoreComputers si possono trovare diversi "CoreCrib Kit", che offrono un case
(moddato) con all'interno un alimentatore da 400 watt, case argentato con
finestra e LED ed una motherboard Apple Gigabit Ethernet. I Kit offrono la
possibilità di personalizzare a 360 gradi la propria macchina, permettendo
di comprare da terze parti sia il processore che la RAM, la scheda video,
gli Hard Disk, le unità ottiche e tutto il resto.
Il CoreCrib Kit di base, che offre solo motherboard più case ed
alimentatore, costa appena $350 (poco meno di 350 Euro) e si arriva fino a
$1500 del CoreCrib Kit con dual processore G4 da 1.2 GHz.

CoreCrib Pictures above are do not include Crib motherboard to protect

*More than 4 ATA devices or harddrives larger than 128GB require the use of
Mac OS compatible ATA Cards.
**Currently the CoreCrib is not ADC Video Card compatible. An add on
solution will be available soon. The Crib DOES support all other Video Cards
and monitors including the fast ATI 8500.
What makes the CoreCrib Kit so unique?
The CoreCrib is a consumer computer that is expanable and as fast or faster
than today's $2000-3000 towers. In an equal sized case to those of the
current Apple G4 towers, you can fit up to 3x5.25" and 5x3.5" drives. You
also have the ability to build a tower system from scratch, something that,
until now, was unavailable to the Macintosh community for such a low cost.
Why is it called a CoreCrib 'Kit'?
CoreComputers has spent long hours developing the design, and engineering
certain components of the CoreComputers. Fortunately for us and our
customers, Apple already has a motherboard that contains many of the
fuctions people want inside a computer. This allows us to reduce costs and
offer the highest quality computer possible. These motherboards are not sold
by Apple for use in 3rd party hardware and we have no agreement with Apple
for it's use. We want to make very clear that we are relying on technology
already developed by Apple and in no way have any development work put into
the motherboard, it's design, or it's capabilities. Please be aware that the
term CoreCrib alone is short for CoreCrib Kit.
Can I purchase bulk? For education? Business?
CoreComputers like most businesses is happy to offer educational discounts,
bulk discounts and more. We will handle these on a case by case senerio so
please contact us with your questions.
What configurations does the CoreCrib come in?
Please check out the "Purchase CoreComputers" above to see pricing and other
information on configurations available. If you have a special request, we
can normally support your needs. Please contact us for questions.
What software can I run?
What makes the CoreCrib so special is the Apple original motherboard inside.
You can run any software that would run on an Apple G4. This includes
running Mac OS 9, OS X, MS Office, Photoshop, Quark, Illustrator, even
Virtual PC with Windows 2k or XP!
Why doesn't the OS come included?
The CoreCrib is a computer based on Apple's motherboard but not supported or
endorsed by Apple. We do not hold any agreement with Apple to preload the OS
on the CoreCrib. Because of it's expanable drive options, many users will be
loading various versions of Linux, BSD, Unix and other PPC compatible OS's
it is unfair to ask these users to pay $129.99 for an OS they will not be
using. You can purchase *ANY* OS you desire (including the Mac OS). Under
"Other Links" on the main page you will find Apple authorized dealers to
purchase an OS. CoreComputers is activly working to contact Apple and make
an agreement with them on possibly including A retail version of the OS with
the CoreCrib.
What sort of support is included?
CoreComputers will be offering a 90 day hardware warranty. Through the use
of support forums, we will provide software and extended hardware support
for 1 year. While we make every effort to support our systems with different
operating systems, we currently only support the use of Apple's Mac OS 9 and
X on the CoreCrib. We suggest you turn to our support forum or use the
"Other Links" section to find other CoreComputer suggested Mac OS forums to
visit for additional OS support.
What if I want to pay for in house/school/business support?
CoreComputers is working to setup and qualify quality Mac support persons in
many major cities in the US and international. Please check the "Support"
section often for a list of specialists in your area.
How does the CoreCrib differ from an Apple built system?
It differs in many ways. 1st and most important, the CoreCrib is not
supported or endorsed by Apple. It is a project setup to introduce the power
of Apple motherboards into an expanable low cost format. We did not create
or manufacture the motherboard or any of the OS's capable of running on the
motherboard. 2nd, the CoreCrib can be assembled from a kit which will
include only an Apple motherboard, and a CoreCrib case with powersupply
giving many customers the option to use their own components from older
systems, or other spare parts and discount deals.
What if I have other questions?
The support forums can be a great place to ask general questions. Soon we
will be offering live chat sessions in addition to the support forum. Past
customers or 'Mac Experts' can answer your question in the forum before
support can even read your e-mail. When in doubt know that you can always
turn towards CoreComputers for answers on all CoreComputer and most Mac OS
questions you have.
