You can find plenty of hardware capable of supporting OS X on a Hackintosh-there’s no definitive build-but we’re not going to go into that here.

In short, my $US900 “Hack Pro” sports nearly as good or better hardware than any Mac that Apple sells short of the $US3300 8-Core Mac Pro (which can, incidentally, get more expensive, but it won’t get much better). The most expensive iMac, by comparison, has only a 3.06GHz Core 2 Duo with 4GB of memory for $US2200 ($US1300 more than my build, but it is built into a monitor), while the cheapest Mac Pro has a single 2.66GHz Quad-Core processor, 3GB of RAM, and a 640GB hard drive-and it costs $US2500 ($US1600 more than mine, though it’s a different and better processor and DDR3 rather than DDR2 RAM). I could have made this build much cheaper by skimping on hardware and still ended up with a great little machine, but I liked aiming for around the $US800 price point from my last build-plus I really wanted to make it fly. For $US300 more, I’m running a 3.0GHz Quad-Core processor, 8GB of RAM, a 1TB hard drive and a damn saucy video card. At the moment, the cheapest Mac in the Apple store is a Mac mini sporting a 2.0GHz Core 2 Duo processor, 1GB of RAM, and a 120GB hard drive. Still, I always enjoy looking at the price differences between my Hackintosh and Apple’s current offerings. Most Hackintosh enthusiasts will say you shouldn’t build a Hackintosh primarily to save money, as it’s more than just an insert-disc-and-click install. I can’t guarantee it’ll be easy, but if you follow this guide step-for-step (it’s exhaustive) and stick with the same (or at least roughly the same) hardware as I am, I can vouch for a rock solid system that also happens to cost a good deal less than you’d pay for a comparable Mac.

That said, it’s not something you should take on lightly unless you’re willing-even enthusiastic-to build and maintain a PC entirely from scratch. PLEASE CLICK HERE TO READ THE UPDATED VERSION OF THESE INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE ATTEMPTING TO CREATE YOUR HACKINTOSHįor folks eager to try a Mac but never wanted to plunk down the high price tag to get it, the Hackintosh-that is, a regular PC tweaked to run OS X-has always been an attractive option.
