And there is always MOL for those who want to get an Apple Mac for less than £2500...

The cheapest eMac starts at £649, and that's with a G4@800.
Hardly worth buying a Pegasos just to run MOL in such circumstances, is it?

In fact, you don't want people to buy a PPC mobo as an ersatz Mac - Apple only tolerate MOL for now because it runs almost exclusively on Macs anyway. They make their money from the hardware - hence the abrupt termination of the Mac clone experiment some years back. They really wouldn't look kindly on someone trying to horn into the market unofficially.
