800 dollars! DIY Apple Leopard Full introduction

If it is because of the expensive hardware price, so you can not try the taste of Apple Mac, then, now well, you will be able to build a "black apple (Hackintosh)"-a computer running the latest Leopard OS X operating system.

What the? How is that possible? Of course it's possible!

In 2006, Apple's Mac moved to the Intel processor hardware architecture, which meant Apple's noble OS X system could also run on cheap PC hardware, and a project called OSx86, driven by hacker groups, has been working towards that goal.

Today, the OSx86 project has made great strides in making it possible for ordinary users like you and me to experience the latest version of the Mac OS 10.5 operating system on their black Apple computers.

Today, I will guide you to build a high-end "black Apple Computer" running the leopard operating system at a cost of less than 800 dollars.
