The Hackintosh Pro Project culminates with a complete and dual boot capable machine centered on an Intel Core i7 3930K 6 core processor. The build uses an ASUS X79 Sabertooth motherboard, a Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce overclocked graphics card, Corsair H80i liquid cooling, and three Vertex 4 SSDs arranged to maximize OS X RAID 0 speed while dedicating a drive for Windows 8. The Fractal Design Define R4 case was chosen for its aesthetic, silence, and airflow, and the parts list is linked below to show pricing fluctuations over time. The host explains the rationale behind each component and how the system is intended to run both Mac OS X and Windows, enabling a flexible workflow for video editing and general use. He emphasizes the boot loader that allows choosing between OS X RAID and Windows at startup, and notes how the total investment compares to a real Mac Pro. The video also details the external peripherals and display setup used on the desk, linking to parts for fans, DACs, monitors, and accessories as part of the finished workstation. The finale frames the Hackintosh Pro as a serious, high-performance alternative to a Mac Pro, especially for users who value upgradeability and cost efficiency. The host closes with reflections on the satisfaction of assembling the rig, the stability of OS X once installed, and a tease of future content in the broader MKBHD lineup.
