Is there anywhere online to buy prebuilt hackintosh systems?

Really do not feel like going through the trouble of attempting a build for a coworker.

I'm sure you can still buy them but you can kiss that "three year parts and support" warranty good bye.

Psystar is such a ripoff. Despite the fact that it's lunacy to buy from a company that's going bankrupt, their prices are complete ripoffs. They charge $1,200 for the 'open pro' when it's about a $700 computer at best. And what they charge for any add-ons is laughable. (IE: $200 for a 1TB hard drive-pretty much double the cost just like the entire system).

Take a few minutes to read through the later part of Kaido's hackintosh 10.5.5 thread- realize it takes even the greenest noob about a half hour to put the correct set of parts together, and save yourself from getting royally ripped off by psystar.

A few of their tricks (custom kexts) have been posted publicly anyways, so yeah, I would take a look at the guide and go from there...

There was a news item a few weeks ago,
http://www.theinquirer.net/inq...53/russians-clone-macs
that a Russian company was intending to (pretty much) duplicate what Psystar was selling. Don't know how far along they are, or whether they would be willing to ship to other countries.
