Hackintosh Dev Lab in a Box…

VMWare Fusion on Hackintosh
This is an early shot of a couple of virtual machines running on VMWare Fusion on my Hackintosh. Originally, the whole reason for slapping this system together was to run Windows 7 for gaming and a bunch of VMs so I’d have a cheap dev environment at the crib to help keep up with work related tech. Some time during the last couple of weeks of spec’ing stuff out I thought “hmmm, what if I gear this towards hackintosh compatible parts and get an extra “Mac” out of the deal. If it doesn’t work I can move ahead as originally planned and if it does work…BONUS!” Well, things definitely worked out towards the bonus side of the project (more on that later.) This system beats the pants off of my daul 2GHz G5 and out paces my Aluminum MacBook by a decent clip too. And, it still works out nicely as a “Dev Lab in a Box”. Nice.
