My Grandmother wants an upgrade from her current Mac (c. 2008), but doesn't want to spend lots of money for a new Mac. However, she is practically incapable of using Windows, so I offered to build her a Hackintosh. I did a little bit of research and pulled together a part list, but I would feel a lot more comfortable if I had someone check it. OS will be OS X 10.6.3. All she needs to do is be able to watch YouTube, read her E-Mail, check the news, etc. Thanks!
