I built this rig as a graduation gift before I head off to college, and had picked all of the parts due to their availability. I had considered hackintoshing my desktop in the past, but never had any real interest in doing it before now. I used a friend's Macbook Air for a few weeks this summer and fell in love with OS X, so I read more indepth for some guides, and what do you know, almost every part I bought is the recommended for tonymacx86's custom hackintosh build, so I said why not!
Before I get started, I was reading up on tutorials as to how to create a hackintosh, but couldn't find any guides that didn't require a Mac OS X computer as a prerequisite. I don't have access to the Macbook air anymore, and don't think I will have access to another OS X computer in the near future, so I was wondering if it were to be possible to create a hackintosh without a mac computer, if so, could anyone link me to a guide? Hope to join you guys as a hackintosh member soon :)
