I built 2 Hackintosh machines maybe 8-9 years ago spend around $1500 in parts but what I built was a Mac Pro equivalent, not an IMac which is what is shown here.

The key is finding hardware which has Apple supported drivers in the Mac OS, the problem is the drivers seems to change constantly so keeping them up to date can be an issue. Apple likes shaking things up.

Over time I ended up buying an actual Mac Pro and had it dual booting into Windows 7 and the Mac OS at the time.

What I learned is for many years the Mac OS and hardware were superior to Windows based machines. But Apple has dropped the ball ( distracted by Iphone success and Windows is as good or better than Mac OS and the hardware is now superior.

This is mainly because Apple doesn't make the enough effort to continually update their hardware and you can't just buy the latest hardware like you can for Windows based machines.
