seems like a rm2500 budget can get me a working hackintoshy+windowy machine
i am so sure that if mac mini is updated its definitely above rm2500

Quad 2.33 600
Motherboard 400
4gb Ram 120
Dvd burner 80
1tb hdd 380
Graphics 9800gt 500
Case 170
Fan 30
Cpu cooler 150


p/s: assuming i am using my own monitor, mouse, keyboard, speakers and dual boot vista


so do we install all the different hackintosh versions a.k.a. distro? to try it out?

yeah thats the few versions i see throughout the web...mobo wise, gigabyte or asus are mostly recommmended...but i personally opt for asus (dont know why )...maybe a P5x one...as for the graphics, i have read that 7xxx/8xxx are more compatible compared to 9xxx, is that true

hmm with the efi-x or hackintoshing using retail dvd...can we actually dl the dvd from somewhere and burn it into dvd to use it rather than buying it? just curious ><
