They claim to be using Sandy Bridge chips so wouldn't they have to be using at least the 2011's?

Then it's the 8460p which you can find for 100-200$ on ebay.

The 2560p also has Sandy Bridge. I believe that's the model shown.
My wife and I both use OSX, Clover 2560ps. I wouldn't claim they're "fully functional" - The video on them is not the best. Lots of bugs in iMovie and sometimes when running 1080p video you get vertical lines on screen, and not contained to the video itself.
Perhaps the guy running this site has solved that issue, but AFAIK I have the best running methods I could find from various Hackintosh communities and guides for the model I use.

This is not the 2560p it doesn't match the images at all.
The 2560p was a 12" model with a black plastic under belly, the location and type of ports also matches the 8460p and not the 2560p.

But overall it doesn't matter they are selling 100-200$ refurbished parts for 100% or higher markup with no OSX installed, so overall it's a pretty scam ;)
