Have you ever wished the your PC were a Mac? Or maybe that your PC could run OSX? Well, I can’t magically turn your PC into a Mac, but I can help you make it look and feel just like one.

The video walks you through the process step-by-step. Basically, just download the files, install, and presto! Mac OS.

Granted, it doesn’t give you all of the benefits of owning a Mac, but it might be fun to set up on your work PC if you’re stuck working on Windows while you’re away from your Mac at home.

    If you need a more in-depth explanation for this, you might want to head over to http://doitmyself.wordpress.co.....ke-mac-os/

    They are the ones that put together the video above. That should be able to help you set this up.

    buy one from ebay, you can get one for under $1000, usually a new one is about $500 on ebay. Or get a refurbished one.

    If you can stand a used mac, shop around in classifieds in stuff. On part-time/student wages, I managed to get a 6 month-old MacBook Pro 15″ w/ 2.4GHz core 2 duo, 256mb nVidia 8600M and 2gb of ram. It was a steal at $1400. Thats not that much for that high end. I’ve seen MacBooks for under $999 and G5/G4 stuff for dirt cheap

    This hack is merely a visual enhancement, changing how buttons look and where they are placed. This, as far as I know, does not alter any integral systems of windows, making it no more mac software compatible as standard windows. However, the OSX86 project does turn your PC into a mac, as you are installing the OS X operating system onto you computer.
