Has anyone tried this? I actually got the list from another website.
The above link are the items I am looking to purchase to build my mac. The only the thing I might change is the processor or the mb. I also have to get a video card.

Are there any suggestions? Is there something that you would change? I might not get the case or dvd drive since I have them already.

Any input would be greatly appreciated.
 
That is where I got the setup from. Further down the page it has a link to Newegg. I wanted to have maybe a faster proc. The board has crossfire, but in the article the guys uses an Nvidia card. Is that possible? The reason for the Nvidia card is the compatibility with Mac os. Same as the mb.

What version of Mac os did your friend install? Was it panther, tiger, or leopard? Did he run into any problems when installing the os? Did he install xp first and then the Mac os? The main issue when installing a Mac os on a pc or whatnot is the drivers.

Thanks for the info though!!!
 
There's a good chance this thread will be locked by the end of the day considering we're talking about violating Apple EULA and software piracy.

With that said, Lifehacker is part of my RSS feeds so I saw that article as well. I would've dropped the Corsair RAM and go with this set instead:
G.SKILL F2-6400CL5D-4GBPQ 2 x 2GB DDR2 800 RAM - $80

I also would've gone with a cheaper motherboard like the DS3L or IP35-E.

And no you can't use Crossfire with Nvidia cards. Maybe Adam didn't want to do a Crossfire setup, hence the choice of an Nvidia card.
