What is your oldest Hackintosh still in use?

For me, I'm still testing everything from Intel 8 Series to 400 Series. Here's an old thread example of my 8 series "2013 CustoMac Mini" build which still runs the latest MacOS Monterey. Pretty good for an almost 10 year old build.

What is your oldest Hackintosh still in use?

MB: ASUS P5B-MX
CPU: INTEL C2D E4500
RAM: 2GB 667Mhz
GPU: Nvidia 8600 GTS 256MB ram

Oldest system I've got is an old Dell Vostro 400.
CPU: Intel C2D E4400
RAM: 4GB DDR2
GPU: Nvidia GT430

It runs macOS 10.7-10.11, all using OpenCore. Could theoretically go lower but I wasn't able to get my Radeon HD 2600 XT working (Otherwise I would've gone all the way down to 10.4). It was mostly used just to test, though I was thinking of getting power states working using `ssdtPrGen` and putting in manual data. It didn't end up running that bad at all though with minimal configuration. Ended up writing a tool to calculate the NVCAP value because I couldn't be bothered.

The oldest one that actually gets used is my Dell Precision M4700
CPU: Intel i7-3740QM
RAM: 16GB DDR3
GPU: AMD Pro Mobility M4000

This runs Big Sur, but could theoretically run Monterey using a newer SMBIOS. Because the laptop uses the dGPU, no patches to insert the Ivy Bridge gpu drivers are needed. Unfortunately with the Trash Can not being supported in Ventura, support ends in Monterey.

I'm using ASUS K53SD with macOS High Sierra, i will update to macOS Catalina to run some special software

My first/oldest hackintosh is on an Intel NUC7, using Rehabmans' guides. I have it mounted to the VESA mounts on the back of a 32" Viewsonic monitor, so a "stealth" HackiMac, if you will. It is now running Catalina/Clover. My oldest hardware would be the Optiplex 9010, using @trs96 guide. It is running Mojave/Clover.

Built mine in 2012

• Running High Sierra because I haven't had time to validate I could upgrade easily.
• Gigabyte LGA 1155 DDR3 1600 Intel Z77 HDMI SATA 6Gb/s USB 3.0 Mini ITX Motherboard GA-Z77N-WIFI
• Intel Core i7-3770 Quad-Core Processor 3.4 GHz 4 Core LGA 1155 - BX80637I73770
• 16GB DDR3 1333MHz RAM
• NVidia GeoForce GTX650 1GB
• Drobo 4 Disk Array (2009) with 10TB

I don't use it anywhere near as much as I did - but it still performs very well even after 10 years.

Good ol' Rehabman. He seems to have disappeared about a year before COVID. I looked into his Github repo and it's about the same there. Anyone know what happened to him?

From what we know he's fine, just "retired" from the Hackintosh world as other priorities became more important etc.

The last I heard about 3 years ago he was doing a home construction project that took up most of his time. Not doing anything software or computer related. He needed a break.

My HP 8300 Elite USDT (ultra small) still works great. Has an Ivy Bridge Core i5 in it. I'm running the latest Big Sur and it's a really nice mini-PC. Use it mostly like a media center.
