If you purchase a motherboard with a supported DSDT, you should be completely good to go. There as what are called DSDT's for motherboards that basically contain all of the config info to get it up and running. The route I went with this time around was to use the tonymacx86 iBoot installer. Successfully installing OS X on a supported motherboard is mostly just about finding the right BIOS settings (usually involving disabling as much as you can get away with during the install). If you want to use WiFi, that selection is quite important as well. After that, you'll want to make sure your video card can be supported with Quartz (most can). The biggest challenge is getting a motherboard that will work right. The other details don't particularly matter. 1.1 - not all versions are supported in OS X, but this one works like a native AirPort card). So, if you want to build a Hackintosh today, it's so much easier than when I built my first one circa Feb. I love OS X and Apple products, but they just don't have a product in line with my price/performance requirements (thought the iMac is a very shiny computer). Granted, I'm not going to get into too much detail.just what I'm running now, but feel free to ask questions. I was parting out my old Core2 based Hackintosh in the Agora (and I still have things from it for sale) when beeba asked if I'd write something up here about it.
