PowerMac G5 legal Hackintosh!

March 16th, 2010 iAPX

I have just found on CraigsList a PowerMac G5, 1.6Ghz PowerPC, 256MB RAM, GeForce FX 5200, that I will buy this evening.

Here’s nothing interesting to a configuration that is so slow, even if extended. Except the case, Apple branded. You could install Mac OS X legally on any Apple branded computer :-)

So I will buy this G5 and upgrade it’s IBM motherboard for a Gigabyte motherboard, Hitachi or IBM hard-drive for Seagate or Western Digital Hard-drive, it’s nVidia video-card by a recent nVidia videocard (GTX 260), it’s IBM CPU by an Intel CPU (like any actual Mac). I will follow this upgrade path I have found.

It’s just an upgrade, but the computer with it’s only Apple-branded piece (the case) will be there, to comply with Apple license for Snow Leopard. :-)
