I've got a laptop hacintiosh.  It's an MSI laptop.  One of those dreaded
all in one units, with the keyboard and LCD screen in one package ....  
D'uh
For what it's worth, it is a good little notebook, but it is no  
Macintosh.  When one
looks at these little beasts you realize real fast why Apple chooses  
not to
build such an inexpensive offering.

On the other hand ...  acquiring the hardware to put together your own
hacintosh in a PC style case is very doable. Psystar
http://www.psystar.com/  is doing it. That is the hardware is available,
Psystar pre-installs Leopard on their units, and you purchase Leopard
from them.  A necessary step I think.

Fanless?  Small?  Thats over my head!  lol ...

Any way Hacintosh is alive and slowly growing ...
