Hackintosh in a G4 Cube case

[jhumroo]

Hello all, newbie here.

I have never built a PC from scratch, but I have done quite a bit of plug-n-play upgrading on Macs and PCs over the years. I would like some suggestions on re-purposing a G4 Cube case to build a Hackintosh inside.

Ideally, I'd like to use:

• One of the latest processors i5/i7[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• Fast graphics card -- DVI, HDMI?[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• Audio in and out[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• 8-16GB RAM[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• 2TB internal drive[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• Blue-ray would be nice, but not a necessity[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• Definitely need WiFi[/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• Giga-bit Ethernet [/*:m:2nukxmwc]
• Bluetooth[/*:m:2nukxmwc]

Is this doable? I'm guessing I'll need a Mini ATX motherboard or is it Micro ATX?

If it is possible, I'd like to build this using components that have ben tested to run MacOS X (10.6.x).

Thanks in advance for any tips and suggestions.
