seems interesting, but seeing as they're kindof saying it'll run osX i'm sure apple will shut it down as soon as they catch wind of it
besides the board starts at $220
am i the only one who thinks that case looks just like MAINGEARS new f131? http://www.maingear.com/custom/desktops/f131/index.php
This might just be me but I don't see anything original here. That whole apple thing will end them. They all have rape me signs on thier foreheads begging to be sued by apple.
sounds like magical bullshit to me.. given there is tons of different socket/slot/interfaces and so many different cpus. i dont see a magical motherboard working outside of a specific architecture. this super mobo speaks 4000 different types of opcodes, accepts all types of specialized hardware... the entire driver base of the world's history has been re-written just for this one manufacturer.. fuck Apple, they will have problems with ANSI/NIST. these are the kind of dudes that take money and run to some tropical island. i saw an intel processor, looks x86.. i'm guessing they mean emulate any os... or by any they mean only mac/windows and any nix variant that is x86 compliant.. which is something you can already do with any other motherboard that is x86. there is not enough info to warrant this claim on kickstarter, http://quocomputer.com/projectq/. common sense of simply looking at the motherboard's layout and the kind of chipsets that would do this sort of job only further gives proof to the opposite of their claim.

Good point. I was sniffing that your getting screwed vibe while reading it. Seems way to low for a tech venture to kickstart anything.

Would greatly appreciate if people do not post about specifics of operating systems.
* interesting comment from the creator of the most unique motherboard in the world that runs "any" os.
Looks like any other small form factor Z77 motherboard.
You can run OS X on quite many motherboards (running OS X 10.8.2 on an AsRock Z68 Pro3 at the moment) so I don't get the "run any OS" aspect since it's just a motherboard.
It's a scam.
i don't think it's nessesarily a scam, just an overpriced hackintosh board
seeing as i can only think of 5 types of os: MS Windows, Linux based, BSD based, Mac OS ibm, Mac OS intel
linux, windows, and bsd should run on any board in the world, good luck running a powerpc os on an intel processor (be that mac os, playstation os, xbox os), that just leaves OsX. and back to the overpriced hackintosh board point
You simply can't say it supports all OS. You can't! There are OS designed for special CPU types you can't use on the motherboard.
It also makes me sad that they use UEFI. I want a loaded coreboot motherboard :(
