If you are looking to build a fast, stable and economic OSX86 machine try this one, hackintosh mini for less than $600.  According to Adam Dachis over at LifeHacker, he was able to put this hackintosh mini together for a very reasonable $599.65 and that includes intel i3 processor and a pretty nifty Silverstone case and power supply. The article states that this machine will run best if

After following these instructions from Pradeesh (pronounced Prasys), I have successfully changed my "About This Mac" info, including serial number and model type :)

Ok, everything, thus far, is working except "Sleep". I have installed the SleepEnabler kext to no avail, I think from posts I have read that it might be a conflict with the voodoo kext... I'll keep posting.

I really wanted to get this Psystar crap of my Hackintosh so I did a search and found this thread on Insanely Mac that seemed to address my exact issue.  I had a working Hackintosh that would only boot from my Rebel EFI CD (totally not acceptable). I went to Conti's site, http://www.osx86.sojugarden.com   new site here and followed his VERY easy instructions... all I

well, even though it has been via the Rebel EFI installer (which I do not plan to use for much longer) everything (except sleep and I did install sleeper kext), so far, is working.  Wireless, sound, video, applications, etc... But, I have to boot from Rebel EFI disk unless I pay Psystar for what I know I can eventually achieve on my own... if I could just get an installer to get past the

I'm going to try this one (titled: "Taking the iSuck out of iHack") tomorrow... or maybe Saturday since my Hackintosh does work right now.  I feel so BAD  >:)

Ok, so I have MOMETARILY cheated.  I needed to feel some progress, I needed to know my mobo could do it, hell, I needed a break from downloading, installing and failing with bootloaders and installers... I took out a 2 month old copy of Rebel EFI and used that.  It worked like a charm!  Made me feel better. Don't hate. I'm still looking for an install/bootloader for my mobo so I

I forgot to mention that I am using this hackintosh installation I found on OS86 Project.

Ok, the computer is built. Here is a quick rundown. This is the first time that I have built a computer so I was feeling challenged. But I found some great videos on "how-to". The video below got me started. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f1X2Wpwl4dg 1. I installed the cpu/heatsink 2. installed memory sticks 3. installed motherboard in case (unfortunately for me since it is used did not

The parts are here and unpacked, now all I need to do is sneak outta' some family x-mas functions so I can start putting it al together.

I started this whole project and minor obsession because my MacBook Pro has been a blessing, a curse and a cause for anxiety for over a year. It runs hotter than normal (just had a dream last night that the cpu overheated and when I pulled it out it was bubbling!) and I am scared that it is going to down soon. I need to send it off to Apple for warranty work but that means I am out of an Apple
