Just a little something I'm trying to finish up for my hackintosh before I get to selling this rig. XD It's all in a Silverstone FT03 Mini. I already sent the aluminum panel in again to get a white acrylic cut out to fit and it's gona be glowing like all the Macbook Pros.

It's a hackintosh. All of my family uses apple stuff. And I've sold custom hackintosh's to people at my college too. You have NO IDEA how many people want a Mac but can't spend $2000 so I make one for $500. XD

Not really, He could be selling the PC for however much. And the user could just buy the Mac software and Boom!

 

Edit: That's like saying selling a windows pc with apple on it is illegal.

 

Not at all. There have been several cases of eBay sellers, offering 'Hackintosh' builds and they have faced the might of the Apple machine and lost.

Kinda dumb selling it on eBay, sell them to friends haha. Anyway, still would take my chance buying a Hackintosh than a Mac.

You're completely right that it's illegal but I don't advertise it under the name hackintosh. I do custom PC's and such and I just ask if they would like a mac and thats how it's placed. I've done 17 builds total in 3 months from just walking around handing out flyers and asking people, 6 of which were hackintosh's. I'm pleased. XD

I think the only illegal thing is using Apple's logo without their permission,I would change it to some other fruit or vegetable just to make sure nothing happens.

 

really like how that looks btw.

Its nice even if I detest apples way of doing things, just second the motion of being careful. They keep fighting samsung over tablets with rounded edges and all sorts of bollocks, their logo on something is just asking for hell.

Once again though man very nice work.

FINISHED!

 

Ended up getting the cut for free since the guys kept this for an extended period of time. +1 for freebies.  :D 

 

The cut didn;t come out as clean as I would've liked but it still looks great. I still have some finger marks to remove as well. I'm not any sort of photographer XD. I took the pics in my vocal booth of my recording studio.

 

Lemme know whatchu guys think??  :P
