A buddy of mine is selling his Hackintosh and I'm seriously considering buying it. He's only asking 400 and it feels like a great deal. He said he built it off a guide from TonyMacx and it runs great. This was a few years ago, tho. The OS on it is Snow Leopard, and some of the gear is kinda old, but easily upgradable. I'm gonna hafta get an SSD & maybe more Ram, new OS, but I think it still has some weight against today's machines. I know it's not max power, but at least it's a good start. What do you think? Specs are as follows...
(Oh I forgot to mention I'm going to be using it for audio production. So graphics aren't a priority, but I'm probably gonna be running the processor hard)
