These days it really is easy. True there is no WiFi but that's not such an issue since it's my studio computer and ethernet works just fine. Bottom line is I built a music production machine that benchmarks the same as the latest top of the range iMac for a third of the price. All my software works beautifully and if any hardware fails (which happened quite a bit with Macs I've owned over the years), I can replace and / or fix it myself without having to deal with Apple. I can also upgrade as I go without being reamed for Apple-specific hardware. Awesome.

I built a hackintosh, i can run finalcut, motion, soundtrack, the adobe suite, logic… y can use my MIDI interface with almost 0 of latency… i’m a motion graphics artist and i have Leopard and Windows XP, but Leopard is faster than XP in my computer… Two month ago i have the idea to buy an IMAC, but when i built my hackintosh i changed my mind… now i’ll buy a mac book pro for some fun stuff… sorry my english….

Building a hackintosh is pretty easy, getting from the retail disc is a little harder but i still managed it. My Sony Vaio has full leopard 10.5.4 all youneedis to find the right kexts. I took some kexts from Leo4all and installed just the kexts. toupdate I just backup my kexts, update and then reinstall kexts and repair permissions

Hmm I don’t really agree with the “hackintosh is a waste of time” statement. Built a close equivalent to a Mac Pro for $500 and it runs final cut with no hitches. Audio was a little tricky but if I was really a pro I can easily for over a few hundred for a professional sound card. This has become a very solid HTPC and I use it daily with plex. I understand this was posted a long time ago but there are upgradable hackintosh flavors now. Particularly iAtkos v5i is a solid solution or iDeneb is very solid and fast (but not upgradable OOB). Just my $.02

I am able to install os x 10.4.3 on my pentium 4 machine, and it works like a charm. However, I have agree with, it’s not worth wasting time on a cripple machine. I really want a mini mac, and I will go and buy a new one box in three months or so.

Okay maybe not related. I have been playing around with hackintosh a lot and have done lots of reading on it. I know many people do this for a challenge or because they cannot afford a real mac. But when it is all done, in just about all the cases that I have read about, you end up with a pretty crippled version of Mac. Why would anyone want to bother doing all this messing around only to end up with a crippled version of Mac. Given the choice, I would go with Ubuntu 8.04 where everything just works out of the box, with less fiddling than hackintosh, or even Windows Xp.
