Building a fully functional  computer running the latest Mac OS X Leopard on “non-Apple hardwares” is now a reality, thanks to the efforts of tireless computer programmers/developers who continually “polish” the heart of the Mac OS X System so it can be installed on PC parts.  These computers are better known as HACKINTOSH . Most Mac diehards swear this is illegal and a violation of Apple’s EULA (end-user license agreement).  But Apple isn’t complaining hmmm……. 

Now, for a bit of fun, according to Apple’s EULA, OS X can only be installed on “Apple labeled hardware”.  The way I understand that term, if you install OS X on something without the Apple logo or label, then it’s  a violation of EULA but if it has the Apple logo or label, then it’s no longer a violation. So what I did was to install OS X on a genuine Apple-labeled hardware. How did I do that? Simple, I PULLED the OEM Western Digital hardrive from my MacPro and transplanted it to my Hackintosh and installed OS X.  Yes, that hardrive is a genuine Apple-labeled hardware. It even has the Apple logo printed on it. Furthermore, I didn’t use the standard PC case to house my hardwares. I used a Powermac G4 Quicksilver case with the Apple logo on the side panels.  So, technically speaking I “installed” OS X on Apple-labeled hardwares.  Sweet! Ok it’s just a joke but I did install OS X on Apple OEM hardrive. 

In this website, you’re going to see my own OS X Leopard system built from PC parts. I built this Hackintosh because one the most satisfying moment in owning a personal computer is to be able to create something beautiful and powerful from PC parts of your choice. That’s the thing I envy the most from my “PC” friends. They build their rigs from parts they prefer. With Macs, Steve and his platoon of engineers decide what to give us. So, after months of intermittent work, I finally finished it and is very pleased and fulfilled.

I placed this Hackintosh building process on the internet just for entertainment purposes only and for those interested in building their own Hackintosh . If you want to discuss about hardware modding and hacking, you are most welcome. But if you come here to discuss about  the legality of Hackintosh, this is not  a courtroom so just pretend this site doesn’t exist. Let the lawyers outwit each other. We’re here for fun. There are lots of discussion on the internet regarding the legality of OSX86. Google is your friend or you can just instead redirect your browser to Microsoft Website and check if they’re going to release  Windows XP Service Pack 265 because Vista was the biggest joke of the 21st century.
