Comments:
I'm using Mac since 2007 and had always MacBook's since this time, for a half of a year also a iMac 21,5 Core2Duo. But I had to sell my iMac and was working on my MacBook White Mid 2010. I'm a webdesigner and I work a lot with Photoshop and different browsers and coding apps (like Coda or TextWrangler) and have many many tabs opened at the same time. My MacBook was always slow for me and I decided to buy a Mac. Then I heard from a friend of this community, that you can run OS X on pc hardware. I am reading at tonymacx86 since November 2011 and I've read a lot of topics here. I found Gordo's build topic and he had almost the same hardware like I wanted to buy, so this was a big help for me :thumbup:

I bought my parts all here in Vienna (Austria). I payed for the i7-2600 100€ (private, normal price here is 260€, 10€ for the NZXT Guardian 921 case (from a friend) and the rest from my local computer shop. In December I bought a Powermac G5 case from eBay, but I had/have no time actually to mod it, but the time will come and I'll make my G5 mod and show it to you guys

Bought also the WD Caviar Blue private for 40€

When I decided to build a hackintosh, one thing was clear: It has to have SSD RAID-0 !
neilhart's tutorial was very helpful, thank you again :headbang:

I've downloaded lastest version of UniBeast from Downloads section and followed tony's awesome guide. The installation was easy and after the installation, I downloaded the DSDT for my motherboard from DSDT Database, MultiBeast and choosed the exact same options like Gordo (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=32306). Everything worked OOB and I had no problems.

MultiBeast for Lion

After that, I used neilhart's tutorial to put my SSDs in RAID-0 (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?f=168&t=36722). My first try run without problems, then I thought my SSDs are too slow and deleted it. I tried like 2 days to get my SSD RAID again to work :banghead:

, but always got "mach_kernel" after rebooting. Yeah, after 2 days I found the solution like I described here (http://www.tonymacx86.com/viewtopic.php?p=323548#p323548).
After everything was working well, I took out my SSDs and put my WD HDD in, to install Windows. After windows was installed with all actual drivers, I put my SSDs back and ordered the boot priority in BIOS. I installed Battlefield 3 and NFS The Run on windows and finished them in the last 2 days :headbang:

What can I say? I LOVE MY HACKINTOSH, it runs smoothly, quiet and really fast

Working with Photoshop, iTunes, Mail, 4 Browsers with each 15 tabs is like I want to use 20-30% of the power of this machine :lolno:

Now I need some time to work on my G5 case and I wanna make it to look almost original, more to come

My fans are really low noise (Silent Wings @500-800rpm PWM, cpu_fan and sys_fan2 and Noctua CPU fans with Ultra Low Noise Adapters on sys_fan1 connected) and I have between 33° and 40° in idle in OS X, max 65°C on CPU at 1h Prime95 or 3 hours gaming. GPU gets almost 70°C when gaming and I can hear the fan after 50% fan speed, below, you can't hear the GPU out of the case

I want to thank to the hole community and of course Tony and his team! THANK YOU guys, you are the best :thumbup:

Enough said, time for some pictures

PS: That was the max what I could do in this case on cable management, I will use this case for 1 or 2 months, till i finish my G5 case

(sorry for the bad pictures, took this pictures from my iPhone 4. Better pics will come when I have more time and a new battery for my cam

)
