Apple's move to Intel processors in 2006 meant that running OS X on non-Apple hardware is possible, and a <A href="http://www.osx86project.org/">community hacking project called OSx86</A> launched with that goal in mind.  Since then, OSx86 has covered major ground, making it possible for civilians—like you and me!—to put together their own Hackintosh running Mac OS 10.5.  Today, I'll show you how to build your own high end computer running Leopard from start to finish for under $800.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/build-a-hackintosh-mac-for-under-800-321913.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/lifehacker.com/img/BA234246-2E80-4EFE-AE72-FBD45DD32F70" alt="build-parts.JPG" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/build-a-hackintosh-mac-for-under-800-321913.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/lifehacker.com/img/6264E314-E1FE-4C0D-B791-4F480B4915B0" alt="nearly-finished-build.JPG" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/build-a-hackintosh-mac-for-under-800-321913.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/lifehacker.com/img/F3A32176-997A-4D3A-AF1C-953E0339283B" alt="about-my-mac.png" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/build-a-hackintosh-mac-for-under-800-321913.php"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/lifehacker.com/img/FD5684B4-53CC-4C33-AC55-2AC1EED66ED4" alt="http://lifehacker.com/assets/resources/2007/11/hackintosh-with-lifehacker%201-thumb.png" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://lifehacker.com/software/hack-attack/build-a-hackintosh-mac-for-under-800-321913.php">The only problem with the install at the moment is that it won't boot without the Leopard DVD in the DVD drive at boot—meaning that every time you reboot you'll need to make sure that the Leopard DVD is sitting in the DVD drive. It's not a dealbreaker for me by any means, but it's an annoyance. </blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/4A1683A0-8885-47E5-9784-FC5BC6ABE5CE/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
