    Default Hackintosh Project

    Well,

    here we go everyone. I am attempting to build a "Hackintosh" from scratch. Here are the basics

    i3 Processor, Intel Motherboard, 1TB harddrive, 4GB RAM and 1GB Videocard...Once I get my Mac OS(Snow Leopard) I'll get this party started.

     Lo, there do I see my father. Lo, there do I see my mother, my sisters, and my brothers. Lo, there do I see the line of my people, Back to the beginning! Lo, they do call to me. They bid me take my place among them, in the halls of Valhalla! Where the brave may live forever!

    WTF is a hackintosh? Obviously it has something to do with MAC but what's it for? A gaming server?

    Can't you find a tower that's better than a cardboard box?

    It's more environmentally friendly than an actual tower.

    Good luck with that, all I see is a box of stuff I have no idea what to do with.

    When I heard Hackintosh I thought it was about cutting apples. I guess it kind of is .

    Components assembled (minus the i3 Processor) need to get an iboot image burned and the Mac Snow Leopard OS and I'll see how this goes

    So far everything comes to $359 bucks I'll spend another 124 for the OS, iLife and iWork apps so I put G5 together for about $500 bucks not too bad, and I have a 24" Monitor..

    For those that don't quite know what that means, that's about a $2,000 savings. You have to post the step by step instructions when you get this thing put together, I'm pretty psyched to see how all this turns out.
