I have a Mac desktop and a Hackintosh Desktop.

They are both hidden from view and you cannot tell the difference when using them.

Both my netbooks run OSX too.

I installed Leopard Mac OS on my Dell PC and it runs like a champ! Being cheap, I didn't want to pay $3k for a pimped out Mac so I bought a Dell Studio XPS with 8gigs of Ram and a monster video card on Dell outlet for $900. I formatted the drive and installed a Mac OS. So now it's a Dell that acts like a Mac. It freaks people out when I power it on. I just tell them that I gutted the PC and used the case to build a Mac. Of course their first question is; what did you do with the old parts?

Did it work right out of the box? Looking for another Mac and a Hackintosh has been on the top of my list. I heard good things about the Dell 10v mini being a pretty easy install. Did you use iDeneb or something else?

I have a Mini 10v. It installs just as if you installed it on a Mac.

You run a special boot disc, do the install and then run a few little apps to change some things and you're good to go. Less than 1 hour, start to finish with a retail Snow Leopard install disc.

I used iDeneb and it worked great right out of the box with my Studio XPS.

LOL @ Godsmack.

Ok, scratch that...it's not clean. Yet.

My Blu-ray player isn't working and my wireless card isn't recognized. I'm sure those are easy fixes but I never used my Blu-ray player in my desktops and I'm always hardwired into a network. I'll probably just leave them alone for now.

ESP must be kicking in here, I have been researching doing exactly this for days!!!

What is the special boot disk candyflip? Where can I get it? What about your wireless? I have never found anyone that has actually got it working, yet.
