Xosx86 Posted April 26, 2008 Share Posted April 26, 2008 This is a hack made with a quicksilver: http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/qu...ilvermodsw.html And one made with a powermac: http://www.s155158671.websitehome.co.uk/ It's really just a matter of checking the wiki for working hardware:)Then it's just searching online for the best deal. It's leg work that you are going to have to do on your own. Mostly because prices change all the time! Good luck EDIT: Want a cool G4 mailbox?

Xosx86 Posted April 27, 2008 Share Posted April 27, 2008 Looks good to me Just to let you know you could set up leopard server on that thing. After you install kalyway and run all the updates. All you have to do is move the server tools and other server files from the Leopard 10.5 server DVD. You don't need to patch the Server image or dvd at all. Then you have a hackintosh server good luck:) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/101533-cheapy-hackintosh/#findComment-726385 Share on other sites More sharing options...
