If I understand it correctly that's $299 from AllMac.com. You might also want to buy a case, dunno if it's ATX or not, and it looks great. But the rest... you can get a Xeon CPU everywhere, the RAM is pretty standard as well, hard discs, optical drives, ... you would have to install a hacked driver to use the video card with OS X, and somehow you'll need a copy of OS X, but other than that... looks doable to me, one would have to test if one CPU is enough (saves money). Should be cheaper too. Hm, I’m somehow wondering what happens if you get a Mac Pro board. If I understand it correctly that’s $299 from AllMac.com.

Having a real Mac would be better (and isn't illegal...)

It might be worth checking out. After watching the show I checked out a site called Allmac.com They seem to have all the parts one needs to build a mac from scratch. It might be worth checking out.

I have OSx86 running on my desktop which is basically a Mac Pro and it runs perfectly.
