If you feel overwhelmed putting the hardware together you could probably find a system builder in your area to do the work for you. When you put everything together and discover some part of the system isn’t working, read this before doing anything else.

I was able to unpack the boxes of parts and install the motherboard, CPU, video card, memory and internal drives in just under two hours.

I’ve built several PCs over the years and the process really hasn’t changed. The following is a description of the build process with quite a lot of hardware nuts-and-bolts details omitted. I am shamelessly borrowing from both and TonyMacx86 in my write up where necessary. That is another source of valuable info and also includes other completely defined Hackintosh systems you may want to consider building, including a Hackintosh “Mini”. Much of Adam’s work was taken from guides provided at the TonyMacx86 Blog. Secondly, I didn’t use the same internal drives and memory he used so I felt I should only list what I used and know to be working. There is a slight change to his procedure that needs to be made. First, there have been three updates to Snow Leopard since Adam built his system and his write up doesn’t cover upgrading to the latest 10.6.7. I’ve decided to do my own write up for two reasons. I chose nearly the exact same hardware he did because I knew it would work. The wonderful Adam Pash, editor-in-chief at, recently updated his guide to building a Hackintosh last October. That’s what I did (and hope to pass along). Or you could take an easier way out, dig a little deeper, and find a write up by someone who built a system and listed the specific steps he took. Also notice that they provide a list of notebooks and desktop systems that work to various degrees of functionality. You could use this list to purchase the items you want to build a system. That is the OSx86 project wiki showing a list of compatible and tested hardware items for Snow Leopard 10.6.7. That means the hard investigative work of figuring out which items work has already been done.

I mentioned that there are a number of people out there building Hackintoshes and giving feedback on how to do so.

Maybe you just want to get a rough idea of how difficult an endeavor it will be.īefore getting into the build details allow me to write a little about why I chose the hardware listed at the end of Part 1. I assume if you’re reading this post then you’ve decided to build your own Hackintosh, or perhaps you’re still considering it.
