The step by step instructions are there. Just read them and follow, it took me days to get a good working setup, yes, installation after another to test out. It's surely not a straight forward installation. Read the guides properly, you need to combine the steps from both guides. And as Mike pointed out, you need a Mac to create a bootable installation usb drive and surely the mavericks installer too.

Unibeast.

You need to install the Chimera bootloader, do check the guide on how to install the bootloader.

Did you install the win8 after the osx? If yes, the win8 has its bootloader in the MBR and that is why it goes straight to win8. Just boot using unibeast, run the multibeast and install the chimera. What is in your /extra/org.chameleon.boot.plist?

I've 16gb which I don't really fully use.. I've assigned 8gb for vmware and the rest for osx.

Go get the TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 instead and use the stock airport driver, work for me.

Good idea, probably what I can do is to link to your specs to the first page. So, just create a post with your current specs & configuration etc and I'll post a direct link.

What error you're getting? Couldn't help much with justa statement.

Did you by chance booting into win8 everytime this problem happened?

No I mean is there any pattern that you're experiencing the problem, is it after you boot into Win8 and the next time you boot into OSX. Or this just random? Need more info before we could determine what causes the problem .. just list out all the symptom that led to the problem and will try to help. I guess you're dual booting right now? Does your dual booting works before or does it always goes into win8 by default?

Motherboard - GA-H87N-WIFI - RM420
Processor - Intel i5 4440 (3.1GHz) - RM600
RAM - Corsair Desktop RAM - 8GB - RM300
Case - Coolermaster Elite 110 - RM150
PSU - Coolermaster Extreme 480W - RM150
HDD - 500GB - RM180
WIFI - TPLink WN951 - RM80

Total = RM1880 + labour time + postage/travelling to get the hardware + OSX. It surely exceeds the RM1999.

In another word .. NOT WORTH IT TO BUILD YOUR OWN HARDWARE!

You could reduce a bit on some of the components, i.e. choosing an ITX case which comes with PSU and probably reduce the RAM to 4GB as per the Mac Mini but as Mike said in the other thread, most of us who went for Hackintosh are the one who wouldn't agree with the price need to be spent on iMac or MacPro, the mid and high end hardware. As for me, I was aiming for an iMac before, to replace my MBP since I'm working from home most of the time but the price for iMac was not in my favour that time (that was 2 years ago), so I went ahead and build my own hardware. The cost was around RM4-5K (I don't really remember) but still way powerful and cheaper than the lowest iMac specs/price at that time. My Hackintosh is still running great and have been on few updates and now running the latest Mavericks release without any problem.

Yup, initially. But once you've got a perfect hardware combination, the only thing I need to do whenever upgrading my machine is to get the audio working and that should be it, the rest of my hardware work as they should. BTW, my hardware combination consist of:

1. Casing - Corsair 600T Black
2. ASUS P8Z68-V PRO (1st Gen) patched ROM
3. RAM - Corsair Vengeance 16GB (4x4GB)
4. Power Supply - Silverstone Strider ST70F-ES 80 Plus (700W)
5. CPU Cooler - Coolermaster V6GT
6. CPU - Intel i7 2600K
7. HD - Samsung 1TBX2 SpinPoint F3
8. SSD - Intel X-25M 120GB 2.5"
9. Monitor - DELL U2311H
10. GPU - XFX HD5770

The above are OLD, built mine in June/2011 and had sleepless night for sure but I'm more than happy that the hardware are still working great until today. Copy pasted from my email to @lingloong, bought most of my stuff from him.

I'm not worry about doing RAID, one thing, I don't really sure if I'm ready nor understand on RAID. What RAID level you're talking about, combining a 60GB with 500GB will give you 120GB on RAID 0. Best is to have your OS on the 60GB SSD and your data in the 500GB, put them into different partitions and this will make sure that if there is a need to refresh your OS, your data won't be affected. In fact, I've SSD for the OS, and the 1TB divided into two partitions, one for data and the other smaller partition for OS backup.

Nothing much you could do other than getting the latest Mac out there. The G5 couldn't be upgraded to the latest OS. If this is PowerMac G5, some people hacked it by installing off the shelf motherboard but this is surely not straight forward thing to do. You really need to know how to use Dremel and cutting something here and there to fit the mobo into the G5.

Nobody has done it before, you might want to try it out.

Just go to youtube and do a search on mavericks installation on pc. Should almost be the same I believe. I've never done this before, but my gut feeling says it might be the same.

Check all the related discussion here:

If it could boot into the installer, you might be good. Just that some support for WIFI, audio etc. that might be another problem.

This guide might be useful:

Where do you hear that from? And what the 'not so good' about it? Been using Mavericks since the day it was out and have no problem with it on my current hardware.

Go back a page, I've listed some of the components that work for you to start on.
