Have you ever thought about switching to a Mac, but decided against it due to the high cost? I can’t really blame you, as I’ve been meaning to save up for another one for several years now. Sure, you can go the Hackentosh route (which I’ve done) but you need very specific hardware and a good bit of patience to get everything working right. However, thanks to the EFiX USB Dongle, you might have an easier time.

Essentially what this little dongle does is grant you to install Leopard from a standard retail CD onto a variety of Computers. The compatibility list with various motherboards is fairly huge, so you shouldn’t have too much trouble finding one that’ll work. The device will set you back $125, which means you could build a Hackentosh for a fraction of the price of a full Mac.
