I prefer not to worry about driver issues and upgradability problems and seld-inflicted kernel panics, but glad you're happy.

If I had the money for a new Mac, I would buy a new Mac. So far no kernel panics, no upgrade issues. I already plan on having to reformat for 10.5.2, so yeah, obviously upgradability isn't there.

But it works right now, and I'm content.

@manasecret:

It's not for the faint of heart or those unwilling to back up their hard drive and reformat with no guarantee of success. And I definitely wouldn't do it without a Core 2 Duo (AMD processors and single cores processors are all but impossible). Even then, many of the compatibility obstacles can be hard to overcome. I luckily built this PC with OSx86 in mind and bought a lot of semi-compatible hardware, but it can be done without that extra step.

Realistically, it's more than a couple steps to make it work.
