I actually never intended to install OS X on my system just bought it for my video editing stuff. But after I find tonymacx86 website and all the OS X system looks so awesome that I cant resist in trying it out.

One things that I would suggest is getting the apple keyboard and mouse. My normal usb mouse wont work on the os…dunno why..but they are pretty cheap on ebay - that’s where I got mine!

I'm also still using the stock Intel cooler. I may go for a cooler if I ever plan on overclocking this machine.

I built it with tight budget in mind- altogether with discounts at the time and the parts that I salvage from an old pc (FRUGAL!) the total build when for about £450 - I know bargain!!

I also uses the Optimized Audio Drivers for Realtek ALC 889/892 and it result in better audio with less popping! And also near native driver for all the audio ports!(thanks!!)

The Graphic works fine and I even manage to get it working with adobe premier pro for Mercury playback engine!

The only things that isn't working is sleep…but I don’t really care about it! Got a Mac of nearly a quarter the price!!

MultiBeast Configuration for Lion

Anyway just wanna say thanks to tonymacx86 for all the hard works and all those peps that put their hard work into making the installer, kext etc.
YOU GUYS ROCKS MAN!! KEEP IT UP!

hi
can u please send the installation method
thanks

 

[usermruser]

hi there,
i just use Unibeast to create the bootable pendrive.
then i boot with it after setting motherboard boot priority to usb.
then the installation was pretty straight forward untill the welcome screen.
network work straight away so i just login into tonymacx86 and download MULTIBEAST.
then select the drivers(you can see from the screen shoot above.)
and Wallah! got your self a hackintosh!.

one thing to note:
*if the you mouse doesnt work on the installation screen,try different mouse(i ended up buying the apple pro mouse from ebay.)
* if the installation doesnt work first time dont worry just keep notifying the problem and try again(the result is STUNNING!)
and if you have any problem better post them on the forum as im not an expert.

best of luck!
