A while back I posted the recipe for my Leopard Hackintosh. I've re-done it now to work with OSX v10.5.3.

Components
- Intel D975BX2X2 (Bad Axe2) motherboard
- Nvidia 7800GTX 256MB PCI-E video card.
- 3GB RAM
- Intel Q6600 CPU
- WD Raptor 150GB 10K RPM HDD
- Pioneer IDE DVD/RW
- Apple Leopard (I purchased this so I wouldn't feel guilty and so I could put the Apple logo sticker on the chassis).

The Steps

1) Burn the Kalyway 10.5.2 ISO. This can be gotten from your favorite bittorrent tracker. I learned the hard way that it's important to A) burn the ISO at 4x and B) take care not to scratch it. Seems the installer isn't very robust when it comes to minor DVD defects. Or, perhaps I was using crappy blanks.
