Hey, I'm new here, this is my first post, but this was an idea that was creeping around in my head and I was thinking about this and just wanted to know if anyone was interested. I'm thinking about building hackint0shes, of any custom order, for anyone who'd be interested. I know there are people that don't have time or skill to build these, and I'd be willing to do this. I haven't decided fully yet, but anyone who is interested can leave a reply giving me some details on an ideal build or send me an email @ blenderman345@gmail.com.

How it'll work is, you send me an email/order with build specs, I'll give you a quote on the price, suggest ideas and parts suited to whatever your ideal purpose for the computer, along with anything you may have missed. Then I will order the parts and assemble the machine with my own money, and install anything else required and I will make a listing on eBay (of all methods, I found this to be most secure, pretty much anything else is risky) and I will put it on Buy-It-Now, after telling you when to look for it. Also, if any of you who aren't interested could point out any flaws that you can see in this plan that would be helpful.

Thanks!

where are you based? i'd be interested but am in UK

Hey there, unfortunately, I'm in the USA.
However, if you're interested, I'm pretty sure we can work something out. Shipping out there might be a bit pricey, but it might be worth it.

That's a good plan blenderman. Ebay tend to pull stuff that is listed as Windows running OSX. So maybe you could come up with a code word. Like pretend it isnt what it is. Taking a clue from TEPCO, ("Its all perfectly safe"),maybe advertise it as having "Low likelihood of OSX". Ebay User name would have to be "TEPCO", otherwise noone would get it. Next year (not long now) Id be seriously interested in contacting you to see if you can rustle up a laptop bigger than a Dell mini 9 that will run OSX.

Guys, this is really getting into the *grey* legal zone.

We try to keep things legal here on hackint0sh and by your comments it seems you are aware - eBay and Apple are much more likely to crack down on people reselling hackint0sh'd computers than hobbyists hackint0shing their own computer with a legally purchased copy of OS X.

Can I ask you to politely take this discussion elsewhere (not in public or on hackint0sh)??
