building an apple?

Can you custom build a macintosh? I've just been wondering this for a couple days, it doesn't seem like you can cause I've seen no one whos done it...

Here's a good guide from this website. It's an old article, but good info regardless:

the article sucks balls

yes you can build an intel mac

what would you be using it for?

ooh and look at

http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page

for compatibility lists and information on hardware

and you need a hacked version of the operating system

The Overclocker's site required too much customizing. I was just reading it and it gave me a headache. I'm sure hard core hardware fans would love to give it a try. Not for me--I rather just buy a Mac PC. I'm like what the hell is this?!

dude that guide was for building a powerpc mac

he wants to build a intel mac

In that case, just build a Core Duo PC and install Mac OS X on it.

yea but you need a specific chipset and a motherboard that is supported

Yet they used soo many mac parts, thats just butchering a bunch of PC's and macs

Anyways for installing it on a PC, hacked copys are illegal and do not like upgrades apple releases.
