    Hackintosh hardware

    Does anyone use a Hackintosh as their everyday computer? I've been given a copy (legit!) of Snow Leopard and fancy mucking about with it on PC hardware, however it's proving awkward to find out what hardware works without any gotchas. I'm OK with the graphics cards, CPUs, etc, etc but the motherboards are just aagh! So if anyone has a working Hackintosh what motherboard are you using and would you recommend building one?

    Im not 100% sure, but I don't think talk of Hackintosh is allowed on Hexus.

    Fairly sure not as it breaks the EULA of the OS.
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: Hackintosh hardware

    Due to the legal issues surrounding the inherent breach of the Apple EULA when creating a Hackingtosh PC, discussion of how to/hardware used is not allowed on HEXUS.

    Debates over should it be legal etc are perfectly fine - the question of how to etc isn't.

    Thanks,
