Here is the video of my Core i7 Hackintosh. It is a dual boot system running Snow Leopard and Windows 7 64bit. The video will provide you with an overview of how I put the machine together with enough information to give you a concept of what it was like to get Snow Leopard running. Combine the video, tech specs and guides you find to make your own.

core I recently built a core i7 hackintosh using parts I bought on Newegg. It is fast and stable. I'll do the full write up soon. You'll be able to see images and video of the process as well as the pit-falls I encountered. I'm going to present the write up as a visual addendum to the guide I originally followed. Summary of experience: willingness to undergo multiple kernal panics without going insane is key.

I love that new computer smell. I also love how clean my new computer’s HD is. Eventually the HD will get cluttered with apps, documents, music, videos and plenty of detritus and no matter how much I fight the urge, my pack rat nature will turn this hackbook into a lead-footed abacus. Between now and that inevitable point, I’ve come up with some ideas (some original, others not) to help stave off the slow down and get the most utility from my netbook’s 10 inch screen.
