For all of those who think it is illegal to install OS X on a x86 or x64 PC, I have a solution. What I did to make sure that I don't get in trouble is I purchased Leopard, then downloaded a version of a patched disc and used that instead of the real disc. NO, its not illegal. Just see where I am going here...

As far as this part in the EULA (End User License Agreement goes -->

"C. You may make one copy of the Apple Software (excluding the Boot ROM code and other Apple firmware that is embedded or otherwise contained in Apple-labeled
hardware) in machine-readable form for backup purposes only; provided that the backup copy must include all copyright or other proprietary notices contained on the
original. Apple Boot ROM code and firmware is provided only for use on Apple-labeled hardware and you may not copy, modify or redistribute the Apple Boot ROM code or
firmware, or any portions thereof."

Well its this simple:

Put an apple sticker on your computer. Thats what I did. Now its running on an apple labeled computer. Apple never specified "apple labeled". Tisk, tisk, tisk apple. You have failed at making me buy one of your overpriced computers. I LOVE macintosh software, but hate their hardware, after all its a software company and that means they don't concentrate on their hardware. So I have the best of both worlds.

1. HP Pavilion dv9540us
2. Kalyway Mac OS X 10.5.2

And as far as using that patched disc, I bought Leopard so I have a license for OS X, and its left at that. So simple. Everything works but wireless and webcam. Other than that (which will be fixed later) its a stable system and more stable than a Mac itself. I've had less Kernel Panics then my friend brand new MacBook Pro @2.4GHz. And I'm at 1.5GHz!

If anyone is interested, Join me and a whole bunch of hackint0sh users at: http://insanelymac.com/ I am OSx64 at insanelymac

And if you wish to purchase a mac, fine but I like to save money and use my (INTEL)ligence.

Good night and Good hacking
Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.
"I commonly need to boot a system from an external disc and take a snapshot of the host system. I also then need to burn a copy of the image to a DVD. While I can do it with two separate external devices, and two power supplies, and two I/O cables, it'd be nice to find a small dual-drive enclosure. It would need to have USB, eSATA, and FireWire. Either slim-line or half-height bay for the optical burner would be fine, and space for either a 2.5- or 3.5-inch hard disc. Any ideas?"
