You mentioned you made a hackintosh in another thread. I was wondering if you could give some insight into the hardware compatibility aspect of it?

I would love to build one for myself, but I am a bit lost when it comes to what hardware is compatible. I have found a few listings online for people who have built a system, but the components they listed are usually not being sold anymore.

Any pointers would be appreciated.

Checkout http://www.insanelymac.com/ osx86 data base. But you would be better off buying a real Mac as you would have to use a hacked version of OS X and you can never tell what nasties may be lurking about in those.

I have. Unfortunately, it is outdated.

I would not be using a hacked version of OS X. I would be using an official Apple OS X retail DVD which I purchased and use the "Boot 123" method to install it. This seems to be the preferred method, now.

The thing is with the official one is that it checks the hardware before installing (well it did on my mac mini) :s.

Which is from my understanding why you use the Boot123 method?
