  • Needed a new computer so I decided to build myself a Hackintosh for Christmas.
    Not needing to buy Apple Hardware saved me mad £€$
    Can also boot to Windows for Piracy and Gaming.
    God Bless x86 architecture.
    Thanks to Build for helping me out.




  • That looks so wrong inside that case! Mac Pros are so tidy inside.

    How much did you spend on it?

  • I could put the cover on the side but it just makes me laugh too much.
    The Apple cable management thing/cables annoyed me so I ripped/cut them out with scissors.

    The whole thing cost less than £400 which is pretty good for effectively two computers inside the one box. Could have three if I wanted to add a linux distro as well.

  • get some neon lightage going on

  • Or maybe a fishbowl set up to liquid cool the core.

  • I was thinking more liquid nitrogen?

  • I did exactly the same thing about 6 weeks ago.
    Machine runs like a dream, only thing I couldn't do was hack the graphics card so I can run dual monitors.
    Waiting for an update from Radeon.

    COD 4 - F'ckin rules!

  • yeah? i'm thinking of getting it for the xbox. good to hear.

  • Um, okay, so, err.. what is it? (must be a mac thing)

    You're running Mac OS on PC stuff? What? Help!

  • slamm
    COD 4 - F'ckin rules!

    lol - That is the reason for dual-boot.

  • only thing I use windows for! :-P

  • hippy Um, okay, so, err.. what is it? (must be a mac thing)

    You're running Mac OS on PC stuff? What? Help!

    Yep,
    running OS X on PC architecture. (easy since Apple decided to move to Intel chipsets)
    Biggest plus point though has to be the cost. Equal spec (or better) to a G5 but at a third of the cost.

  • For hippy:
    Hackintosh

  • lightbulb I see.

    The guys at work that are all buying new MacBook Pros might be pissed when I piece one of these together for a fifth of the price :D

    How stable is it and are you using the EFI emulation method to run a 'normal' MacOS or is it one of the hacked ones?

  • wish I could run osx on this friggin laptop

    maybe I can...

  • Perfectly stable, using the boot patch.
