The Dell Mini Notebook looks really good. I am waiting anxiously for the technical specifications of the Dell Mini Notebook to be revealed.

My wish for the Dell Mini Notebook CPU, RAM and Storage:

• Intel Atom 1.33GHz CPU
• 2GB RAM
• 20GB SSD

The Dell Mini priced properly looks set to take on the Asus Eee PC as the mini notebook for the masses. The HP 2133 with the VIA CPU and higher price point is not as attractive to those looking to get a mini notebook as a secondary machine.

After reading about all the fun of building your own Hackintosh, I’ve decided to join in and build my own Hackintosh too. My four year old Windows PC died recently, so, all the more reason for me to build a Hackintosh. A trip to the computer mall got me the following PC parts for my DIY Hackintosh project.

My Mac PC parts:
Casing: Shuttle SD30G2
CPU: Intel Core Duo E4600 2.4GHz
RAM: Kingston Value Ram 4GB (3.25GB recognized by motherboard)
Graphic Card: ASUS Nvidia 8500GT 256MB SILENT (Fanless)
HDD: Western Digital 500GB SATA
DVD-RW: Pioneer DVD-115 (taken from old PC)
Wifi: Linksys WUSB54G v4 USB Wireless Adapter (previously collecting dust on my shelf)
Monitor: Dell E228WFP 22 inch LCD monitor (2 year old unit)
Logitech Wireless Keyboard+Mouse (was using this with my old PC)

With lots of help from http://forum.insanelymac.com and http://wiki.osx86project.org, I managed to get my Hackintosh up and running smoothly after two evenings of tinkering.

Here’s the result:

Searching for tips on how to install Mac OS X on a PC? 

Get all the information you need to start your installation of Mac OS X on a PC at http://wiki.osx86project.org and http://www.insanelymac.com. Looks like quite a crowd has gotten Mac OS X running on their PC. I’m excited.

I’m going to build my own hackintosh (PC running Mac OS X) soon.
