Tekzilla shows how to legally and easily build a Hackintosh.

// July 22nd, 2009 // osx, technology

Have you ever wanted to build your own OSX powered PC. Tekzilla shows you how to do this legally and without hacking drivers and dealing with one of the many other wrapped up disks and bootloaders.
They are using a USB pluggable Boot Processing Unit (BPU) called EFI-X. A little expensive but still way cheaper than the Mac hardware and so far the only really straight-forward way I’ve seen.

    More than a little expensive. I think you’ll be interested in “Exclusive Report: EFI-X Mac Booter, A Scam?”

    * “would cost no more than $10 to produce under volumes of 1000″

    * “EFI-X uses code taken straight from the OSX86 community, without attribution. In fact, it was discovered that the .kexts (kernel extensions) files used by the EFI-X modules were nothing more than community made patches that were patched up to conceal their origin.”
