Hackintosh Dell Precision T5610 Dual Xeon E5-2609 Workstation?

[TheBZA]

Hi all,

Work has bought me a Dell Precision desktop (thanks work!) with two Xeon E5-2609 processors (8 cores in total) and a bucketload of RAM. I'd like to increase this beast of a machine's usefulness by installing MacOS on it.

I've built my own hackintosh systems in the past so I'm not completely new to the process, but I'd like some help figuring out if this pre-built machine will run OS X or not. Can someone point me in the right direction to find out which hardware components I need to check for compatibility?

Here's a link to Dell's website which has some rudimentary info.

Thanks,

TheBZA

Hey, sorry for the slow response. I managed to install Mavericks but it only boots in safe mode and performance is terrible. I think it would work with the right boot flags etc. but it's a bit beyond my ability.
