Maybe it's a tribute, not a ripoff.
No, it's a ripoff.

It seems so fake... at-least they haven't figured out the real Apple font

They state on the same page that:
Since creativity and innovation are associated with open-minds and breaking from the "traditional", at we believe real productiveness comes from learning attentively with others' feats, not from looking at their mistakes. And since we trust in doers more than in talkers, we've built an unique group of team players from every imaginable business field to get inspired by their individual talent, commonly obsession with making the computer products.
Are they gunning for Apple? Oh, yeah. They never say it, but they steal the Finder logo outright - twice! And they've replaced the crack-smoking speed freak who writes Apple's copy with a crack-smoking speed freak who has a tenuous grasp of the English language.
They say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery. These look like perfectly capable PCs (and the claimed 2,800 performance enhancements to Windows XP might mean that you actually notice the speed of the P4s they ship), and it's nice to see Apple acknowledged this baldly as a trendsetter.
While just trying to be different, and hopefully original...
"Miracously engineered" - Means: We stuffed a desktop in a laptop.
"1.7in" thick" - Means: Way too thick
"Choose a model, News Ticker" - Copied from Apple
"3.20Ghz P4" - Has to be desktop model, there goes batt. life and portability
"Choice of optical drive" - Means: You can even choose the CD-ROM model no one wants
"Free-flow cooling technology" - Means: a fancy name for nothing
"120W Power supply" - Means: A ton. My iBook is at under 75 iBelieve.
"Weight: 7.9lbs" - Means: Ooof!

Maybe not, but they do possess the most expensive:
Power Mac G5: $1999-$2999USD (pre-configured models)
MachL 3.8GHz: $3999-$7799USD (also pre-configured)

Plextor has an 8x DVD±RW drive. PX-708A
3.8 GHz is supposed to be achieved via an FSB overclock from 200 MHz to ~238 MHz.
128-bit most likely refers to Intel SSE2.
This is all doable. My Windows PC is OC'd from 2.4 GHz to 2.9 GHz with nothing but a Swiftech heatsink and a very low volume fan. I'm sure I could push it well into the 3 GHz range with one of those new monster Thermalright heatsinks + a 92 mm high volume fan.
