Gizmodo —
... Snow Leopard on it, Psystar is now selling software that lets you put OS X on any new PC. You can actually download a trial version yourself before you hand over your $50. Keep in mind that you'll need to have a machine with one of these processors in order for this to work: Intel Core 2 Duo, Core 2 Quad, i7 or Xeon Nehalem. We haven't tested Rebel EFI, so we can't say how well it works. Let us know if you've had luck with it. [Psystar via LoopInSight]

... selling Rebel EFI software on their site. The software allows users to install OS X on any old Intel-based PC for the low price of $50. Well not any old Intel. You'll need a Core 2Duo, Core 2 Quad, i7 or Xeon Nehalem to run Snow Leopard. The software reportedly works with Windows 7.

... explaining how to install Snow Leopard on Rebel EFI, there's nothing on the Web site that explains what will work.
