Building a Hackintosh (PC-based Macintosh) in May 2011
May 23rd, 2011 | Posted by in Apple / Macintosh
After being a PC owner and user for most of my life, I recently purchased a Mac laptop which I love. Mac makes some amazing software for picture/video editing and management. So due to the fact that I don’t store all my media on my laptop, I have decided to build a Hackintosh – CustoMac Pro. I’ve started doing some research and have found some great resources which I will list in a future post. For the time being, here is a brief overview of the hardware that I am looking to puchase for my new Hackintosh CustoMac Pro buildout.
- Intel i7 Quad-Core 3.2Ghz
- 6-12GB of DDR3 RAM (haven’t decided the amount yet)
- 120GB OCZ SSD – would do 60GB, but decided I want 60GB for each OS, will dual boot OSX and Windows 7
- Gigabyte Motherboard – these seem to be the most compatible
For those that have already build a Hackintosh, I’d love to hear your experiences below in the comments. Let me know how it went & what you might do differently if you were to re-build one now.

I’ll think about it B dizzle… I’ll think about it.
Just here to GYAC.
When’s that new guy supposed to start writing for you?
Hahah… Oh yeah… that new guy… Hoping that he starts writing soon… this blog is falling by the wayside. Adsense earnings down 50% since google did their “Panda” update a couple months ago.
that’s not very encouraging. once this super blogger thinks of some good material, it’ll all change ;.)
