Osx86 - Mac OSX on PC Hardware

Building a fast & cheap Mac PC from hardware which works with OSX out of the box. For more info, please goto http://www.osx86project.org and look up the wiki on OSX86 to see what PC hardware will work with OSX. Also goto the URL above for questions concerning dual boot, etc.

Also see this great write up on a cheap $200 OSX86 machine here: http://www.i-hacked.com/content/view/202/42/

Only thing that needed help was the sound hardware, and even the Network card came up in OSX as an Apple device. My wireless also wasn't supported, so no airport :( But - goto the OSX86 wiki, from what I've read there are several wifi cards that work! In fact in one of my more recent videos I show you can make a Belkin PCI card work as the Airport wifi hardware.

I've also tested my USB HP Officejet printer (w0rks perfect!)
My Sony Digital Camera (w0rks perfect!)
Burns DVDs / CDs
iTunes Works perfectly
Built in Firewire port? / cannot connect my digital video camera


An even Cheaper solution to building one of these is to use a Celeron w/ SS3

You will have to either have two disks, or partition your HD into two drives to make this dual boot setup I have work, then modify your windows boot.ini startup file so you can boot between OSX & XP like shown in this video.

Please don't ask me how to make it work, or where to 'find' OSX86. It's on torrentportal.com/torrentz.com (& virtually aLL the tOrrent sites) -- the answers to your questions are in both the wiki and in the forums. This system (does not hang on hardware, etc.) it's very stable once you modify kext drivers and remember to use hardware which is in the OSX86 wiki... See my other video on getting a Belkin PCI wireless card to work as an Airport & enjoy your hackintosh PCs!
