Before the dark cloud of copyright descended, the last great Hebrew Bible with critical notes was Kittel's Biblia Hebraica. When I cite simply "Kittel", I'm referring to the appropriate spot in BHK.
It exists in various editions, which have found their ways online in scans of varying quality. For the 1909 edition see here: volume 1, volume 2.
It has since been superseded by BHS.
See also abbreviations in Kittel.
If I have one complaint against BHK, it is that in its cryptic, multi-lingual, highly abbreviated notes it is only accessible to a fairly small audience. I think it would be useful if someone were to produce an English translation of the notes. As a brief specimen of how such a project could look, see bhk-sample.pdf for a brief visual. I've also produced a brief sample, bhk_simulation, of what a Markdown or HTML-based edition of BHK -- without its main Hebrew text -- might look like if someone were to pursue it.
