One of the simplest ways Save $1800 On a Hackintosh Mac Pro [Video]

While nearly all of hackintoshes we’ve seen recently have involved netbooks , there’s something to be said for making your personal $2700 Mac Pro for $900 in components… and a cardboard box.

Apparently someone at One Block Off the Grid was having trouble running Adobe After Effects on his Mac. The plain solution? Buy a host of parts from Amazon and assemble them inside the box during which they were shipped:

The computer itself has pretty good specs, with a 2.66 Intel Core i5 CPU, a 1 TB hard disk drive, 8 GB of 1333 MHz DDR3 RAM, and an XFX Radeon HD 5770 1GB DDR5 Graphics Card. To run Snow Leopard on this computer, Kalvin used iBoot and MultiBeast.

Sure, you are able to lose some style points. But you’re making up for it in talking points. [ TUAW ]
