lifehacker.com — Two weeks ago I detailed how to build a Hackintosh with Snow Leopard, start to finish, with a little Terminal work. If you're not comfortable with command-line hacking, now you can install Snow Leopard on your Hackintosh with just a few point-and-clicks.

It's all about the drivers.

Buried because I'm a software developer who's livelihood depends on them.

Uhhh, who would ever drag their mini around like a laptop? I would have never done that in all my? ok, it has been done.And it's actually quite nice knowing that you can plop your computer into a PS2 Slim bag and have space left over.

Buried because RMS told me to and you probably don't write apps for *buntu anyways.

@ DonCarcharo, RE: " ... I use my Macs for work as they're very stable and require virtually no maintenance. I see them as appliances, really. Conversely Windows requires a bit more effort on my part but that effort has benefits - a huge library of software, peripherals, games and the amazing Windows Media Center. I'd then suggest Ubuntu is essentially a hobby but I don't need anymore negative diggs today...Back to my point, as I see it there's little benefit of having a Mac that requires hands-on maintenance and configuration. To me, at least, that's one of the platform's strongpoints. That said if you don't mind getting your hands dirty, there's nothing inherently wrong with a hackintosh."That's exactly the same conclusion my work colleague came to after spending weeks getting OSX to work on his Dell mini.It's fun to stuff around and get it working, but it's no MacBook...

@ vtnerd, RE: " .. To answer my own question (using fury420's direction), here is a guide for the GA-P35-DS4 (and several other P35, X38, EP45 and EP35 Gigabyte boards) "Thanks.

Yeah, Dell is cheaper. I built a badass gaming machine on their website, noticed how awesome the price was, then noticed it forced me to go with 800MHz RAM. This is why Apple is more expensive, they don't f**k you over on the small details.
