OS X on PC

I am a PC guy on the surface but an Apple fan at heart.

Recently I built an AMD PC which is quite good in terms of price-to-performance for general use. Intel-based iMac caught my attention again because of its beauty.

I went through a lot of online articles and learned that I could build a Mac on PC hardware. Wild thought: wouldn't it be good if I can use my newly built PC to build a Mac? So I started surfing the web.

I browsed through many articles and got a bunch of software downloaded. Cool.

Installation went smoothly, well well, as compared to the Windows installation, I must say the duration is more or less the same. Takes time.

Initially, there are some teething problems. The external hard disk is not stable. The wireless adaptor is not functioning. The video card cannot be set to other resolutions, etc. Through some wrestling, got some of those resolved.

Now I got a Mac on PC. Cool and fun.
