apowerr Posted November 11, 2007 Share Posted November 11, 2007 It depends on what computer you have. You can't build much of a Hackintosh for $400 though Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70913-iphone-or-hackintosh/#findComment-503008 Share on other sites More sharing options...

KaiNeR Posted November 12, 2007 Share Posted November 12, 2007 instead of buying another comp, upgrade your existing setup and get an iphone Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70913-iphone-or-hackintosh/#findComment-503227 Share on other sites More sharing options...
RemcOSx Posted November 29, 2007 Share Posted November 29, 2007 yes, find out what you need to run osx on your "old" pc and upgrade, if there's enough money left buy an iPhone. Otherwise (pc too old or something) build a nice hack en try to save some money for the iPhone.

jpolster2005 Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 building a hackintosh is like an art. It requires specific hardware, not any hardware will work without having to put effort into tweaking. By far the best way is to search the osx86 wiki for the version you are going to install. find what ISO people used and what hardware and buy exactly that. Its too much work to do patches because it requires understanding unix and command lines are outdated. What I did was get the kalyway leopard and install it on a P4 3.0 GHZ (haha beat that core duo! bet you cant find a core duo at 3.0ghz) and a ECS 915g-a motherboard, and a x1650 video card with device ID of 71c2 and everything worked out of the box, including QE/CI. I did have to install the Natitx1600 package off my 10.4.11 disc to get resolution changing and rotation. Dual display doesnt work, but with larger LCDs getting cheaper, and having a 22 inch, dual display is gettings more and more useless! My sound ethernet, sata, all work perfectly. sometimes when i shut down, it doesnt turn off it just sits there with a blank screen, but i leave my pc on all the time anyway. The whole set up cost me $120 off ebay, and that includes the video card and 2gb ram. im not counting the case or hard drives since everyone has those laying around. Id say get both.

JSn1™ Posted January 23, 2008 Share Posted January 23, 2008 Both! However, if you have to go just for 1, go for the iPhone. It is better than a $400 pc.

Berzerker Posted January 26, 2008 Share Posted January 26, 2008 I really want an iPhone, but I'll stick with my iPod Touch until my contract expires. Then I'll just get an iPhone and give the touch to my dad.

JSn1™ Posted January 27, 2008 Share Posted January 27, 2008 What kind of contract, why not use iPhone with that contract? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70913-iphone-or-hackintosh/#findComment-595960 Share on other sites More sharing options...
conk_the_monk Posted February 4, 2008 Share Posted February 4, 2008 Get hackintosh it is far superior concept than iphone.... iPhone will only bring you fame but Hackintosh will be Fame&Glory... Specialy when 10.5.2. update comes out....( For vannila users it will be even Fame&Glory&Lazyness ) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/70913-iphone-or-hackintosh/#findComment-608796 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berzerker Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 What kind of contract, why not use iPhone with that contract? Because I was on Verizon. It just expired 2 weeks ago and I got an iPhone last sunday. I suggest an iPhone. You get internet everywhere, and you don't have to worry about carrying an iPod and a phone with you, when you can have everything in 1 device.
