How to Build a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard, Build Complete - 10.6.1 Updated

Alright, so I want to say, first and foremost, thanks to everyone who has been waiting patiently for me to make these videos. I finally received today the replacement video card that was DoA originally when i received it from NewEgg.

One month later, I finally had all the pieces to build my Hackintosh PC.

I updated the flash drive with Snow Leopard on it to include the EP45UD3P Installer Package from Stella, which can be found on his blog at http://stellarola.tumblr.com; The current version as I write this is v2 which includes CPU Recognition and other nice features that automatically discover the audio card and automatic recognition of nVIDIA cards.

I will be editing the installation video, which I also filmed today so please stay tuned! Subscribe and comment if you have questions and of course, rating 5 stars is always appreciated if you found this video interesting/helpful, etc.

Next video to be uploaded will be on the specific hardware used to complete this build, and then another video on the formatting/setup of the USB drive and then FINALLY the installation video, with step by step instructions on how to get your very own hackintosh up and running.

Computer runs flawless and although it sucked having to wait and deal with some defective parts, it was totally worth the wait!
