I don't know if I'd wait all that much.  The CoreCrib doesn't give me 
any faith in that guy's ability to deliver a much more complex (and 
original) product like the iBox.  I've done, as a hobby project, the 
same thing as the CoreCrib -- take a PC ATX case and mount a G4 
motherboard and power supply inside.  To be quite frank, the CoreCrib 
is a hunk of crap by comparison to my handiwork, and I'm *not* trying 
to toot my own horn (I don't sell my conversions, they're made for me 
by me).  If that one-man operation can't take an off the shelf ATX case 
and make a decent conversion kit out of it, how is he going to get a 
full custom case designed and built?

Because Apple killed cloning a long time ago, well before OS X was 
released.
