Has hell frozen over? lol nah just practical or pragmatic. -- Wendell

A lot of people have asked me about this, and hackintoshes, so I did a video on it. It's a bit long and a bit boring, but this should tell you everything you need to know if you want to do something similar.

This is a great way to get a 100% genuine mac to do software development on that also doesn't break the bank.

Be sure you carefully check that the CPUs you might get are compatible. These Macs can be tempermental.

Unfortunately, thunderbolt is just not an option for these, though. No thunderbolt support from the chipset, so I'm not sure that'll ever be possible.

"Scratch and Dent Mac Pro": $50
2x Intel x5650 Xeon CPUs: $50 (I had these on hand from an old server I retired)
8x 8gb ram server ram: ~$100 (I had these on hadn too from old server)
500 gb SSHD: $50
miscelany: $30

upgrades:
GTX 760: $75 (originally a GT110 which works, but isn't great)
PCIe SSD: $lots (supa-fast PCIe SSD storage)


The $350 here is a "good deal" because the mac pro looked like hell. If you get the system for less than $500
