Why are there no MaClones?...................
If you agree that the value of a DIY project includes the learning, then the answer is always yes.
To me, the real reason to make a Hackintosh is to make a computer to your specifications.
Apple has not been very good to Mac hardware. xServe is gone. Mac Mini and Mac Pro are VERY neglected, and both are inflexible with expansion options. Not everyone wants to use the screen that comes with the iMac, and frankly, it’s been neglected too.
So, if you want a 21st century version of a Mac IIx, Hackintosh it must be.
Is this more along the lines of Mr. Blandings builds his dream computer?
I’ve thought about it before, but find myself doubting it’s worth the bother. Maybe I’ll see if I can find an old macbook at a pawn shop or something instead if I really feel the urge to play around with one.
As it is, I’m looking to build a new PC so that I can play the next xpack of (franchise) in 4K when it releases in August. Should be good times. Maybe I’ll see if parts can be rigged so that it can be dual booted. ‘Tis a thought.
If I were going to hack Mac I would build this one.

Big harry deal. The box I’m typing this from is a Linux Mint system with VirtualBox installed, beaucoup RAM and a CPU that supports 64-bit Virtualization. I have installed on it and can run authentic Windows 10, WinXP, OS/2, MS-DOS, OSX, and Android in VBox virtual environments, even alternating between them without rebooting.
