DIY: Build a Leopard Mac for $350
By Danny Mendez
With the cheapest Macs selling for $600 nowadays, countless (broke) DIY Mac nerds have taken matters into their own hands. Thanks to their efforts, it’s possible to build a decent Mac for $350.
Forget those expensive, ugly computers Apple tries to push down our throats. Instead, check out the $350 build-your-own Mac guide at WildWobby.
The guide includes a list of recommended hardware items. Though it’s not absolutely necessary to use these parts for the project, WildWobby has already tested and put together this set. As a result, it’s probably easiest to use them, but try to avoid the Celeron processor.
Unfortunately, the WildWobby tutorial suggests using the Kalyway Leopard DVD downloaded from a torrent.
Keep in mind that this breaks Apple’s end user license agreement, so if you don’t like lawsuits or angry letters, don’t do this. As we all know, Apple doesn’t like DIY Mac stuff like this.
Still, it’s nice to know what’s possible.
