Is it possible to run Mac OSX (any kind) on a custom pc?

Question

I'm a PC builder, I build custom pc's from ground up; motherboards, cpu's, gpu's, apu's, sound cards, etc.

Anyways, I was watching some of Willudesign's (aka Will or aka UnknownLobster) videos. He installed Ubuntu, Windows & Mac OSX on his OS Xbox Pro video. (link below). I was wondering if you can normally do this, I know he builds his stuff from scratch and uses all sorts of products that I've never seen before.

Basically my question is, can you install Mac OSX (any kind) on a custom machine, or do you need any special parts? (without using Hackintosh, VMWare or any other programs like that).

Answer 1

Possible? Yes, given the proper hardware configuration, since Macs use Intel chipsets now.



Worth the total pain in the *** it's going to be? Probably not.

Answer 2

It is possible to run OS X on an Intel based system if it has the one of right CPU models. However, it's not designed to run on anything but Apple hardware so there are a lot of hoops to go through and some things just won't work. It's fine as an exercise but not if you want to actually use OS X to get real work done. There are a number of sites that show how to do this.

Answer 3

I am pretty sure the only way to get OSX on a PC is going the Hackintosh route. Mac OSX is designed to only work on apple hardware. Read some articles found on google. If you want OSX a lot I wopuld just buy a apple computer.

Answer 4

No. The reason Hackintosh exists is because the Mac Os will not run on a Windows machine.
