Yeah, for about the extent of 3 or 4 days. Apple still gets their HD's from Hitachi, WD, Maxtor, etc. They still get Drives from NEC, Benq, Lite-on, etc. They still have video cards from ATI or Nvidia. My point is, you can match up the equipment on the inside pretty close except for probably the motherboard, which you can bet there is going to be some chip to lock it in. However, as was mentioned the arr matey crew will have that taken care of in short order.
