I want Hackintosh. I am sick of PCs but not willing to buy an expensive Mac.

The best way is through EFI emulator. It make the Os X disc believe it is a real Mac.
I don't want download a hacked version of Os X. I want to use the official Os X disc.
Also this way any Mac updates will not break the system. Sticking it all on a USB
stick would be wonderful.

I like the way you think i have seen similar done in the past on Youtube. getting a PC to believe is it a Mac and then isntalling the Mac OS X onto it.

Its very much beyond me but i understand the concept of it.

Could use Linux... it's completely free, and easier to install than what you're trying to do.

I used this:

iBoot + MultiBeast

That's out of date, but the current versions of iBoot and MultiBeast work with Lion.

You may need some kexts(kernel extensions). I got many from this site:

http://kexts.com

This site is very useful:

I recommend getting components that use the same chipsets or components that are used in Macs. You can check the OSX86 Hardware Compatibility List. You can change the version in the URL to view other OS X versions that may list compatibility for other hardware.
