I am looking into getting a small hackintosh build and wanted to know what the state of affairs is.
As I want something small I will be going down the miniITX route. I will be going with Intel (i5/i7) and and it will have an integrated GPU, something like the Intel HD3000.
I know there are things that don't work on specific hackintosh setups but are there things that don't work on ALL hackintosh machines or certain things that don't work on MOST hackintosh machines?
I just want to see if hackintosh is the right move for me?
When looking for a motherboard, are there certain things I should be looking for/certain things to avoid? I know there are various compatibility lists for motherboards but I wanted to know whether I should be looking for certain chipsets/audio/etc...or is it the case that say one audio chipset would work on one motherboard but the same audio chipset may not work on another.
I am looking to get as close to a real mac as possible with as few "hacky" things as possible. I will probably end up buying an apple keyboard and apple mouse.
