Built a Hackintosh Today

Took all of 90 minutes to put everything in the case and install OSX on non-Apple hardware.

Got a little nervous at one point, but it as an issue with my video card which was fixed with a proper driver install after the OS install.

Everything worked without hassle, I'm really surprised by how easy they've made it at this point.

Built a Mini-ITX system:

Gigabyte Z77N motherboard
Intel i7 3770k
Nvidia 680 ti
16GB Corsair Vengeance DDR3 1600 MHz
Samsung 128 SSD
2x2TB Seagate Barracuda

Build cost was just under $1200 and cost to build something similar with Apple was over $3000.
