Is a Hackintosh Really Worth it?

In this video, I go over the pros and cons of building a hackintosh. It's a long video, but I believe it offers good information if you're looking into building one.

Great hackintosh sites:

and you can upgrage an imac hdd

[cpukid00]

@nesordie It's a pain, though.

i just wish everyone would understand that you are not paying for the mac operating system, you are paying for the technology used inside the macs and the quality parts inside and out. windows pc's and laptops are made out of crappy plastic but i can throw my mac book against a brick wall and still use it fine.

@MrAntec900 Check out my "Hackintosh From Start to Finish" series. I mention exactly that.

Hello , Could you share with us you're wonderful HD wallpaper please i like it :)

@MrAntec900 lmao, a mac is constructed of the same hardware a pc uses idiot. mac just uses a aluminum frame that works as a heat sink sitting in ur lap melting ur clothes off.

[markdanielshome]

@MrAntec900 can i see a video of you doing this?

[nandor690]

@MrAntec900 you are an idiot. Knw what your talking about before you open that gapping hole you think smart things fall out of.

[MrAntec900]

@nandor690 they can't handle the processes, so i doubt you have an hacked atom. send me a screen shot then of the system settings on OSX saying you have an atom processor

[MrAntec900]

@bebeoploki actually its not just the OS. your looking at the quality of materials used, like the aluminum uni body of the mac books and towers. the logic board is far more advanced than a windows motherboard. know your facts, you probably don't even own a mac so you can say anything bad about them.

[nandor690]

And updates are not bad if you get hardware that plays nice. Most I have to do is rerun AppleHDA.kext rollback after updates. I'm also running a full working OS X Mountain Lion DP1

[nandor690]

@MrAntec900 yes, you can. I have made plenty of atom hackintoshes.

[bebeoploki]

@MrAntec900 yeah read what I said moron. If there's anything superior on a mac its the OS. hardware wise its overpriced brotoss.

[MrAntec900]

@bebeoploki coming from someone who isnt an IT you probably know nothing. my PC has 32gb of memory with an 8-core processor and 4gb of video memory and the only thing it does faster is renders a DVD. mac is way ahead of windows and is built way more carefully than any windows operating system ever created. you my friend have no idea what you are talking about.
