    I built another hackintosh to replace my old one three weeks ago. It's easier than installing Windows at this point (if you buy the right parts). Motherboard and video card are the main components. I used the GIGABYTE GA-Z77-DS3H & ASUS GeForce GT 640 for those interested.

    $700 for a computer that's faster than every Mac except for the Pro and the top of the line Macbook Pro. Throw in another $100 for an i7 instead of an i5, and it will smoke the top of the line mac pro too.

    Everything works. All my software, my Focusrite Pro40 audio interface, everything. Mavericks updates without any problems. Hackintosh 4 life.

    • I did buy this stuff during newegg's black friday thing, so it might be 750 or so not on salesection_014
    • the video card itself is lower than any offered in the iMacs, so definitely won't smoke themmonospaced
    • < $700 though mono - come on.fadein11
