My first question would be; there's *TONS* of great info in this thread - all 44+ pages of it. But obviously, being 44+ pages, some of it's dated.
So how far back in this thread would you recommend a newbie go to start reading?

I would ***HIGHLY*** recommend going over to TonyMacx86 and reading through the buyers guide before buying anything. There are some systems that work perfectly and some, less so.. Read there at the good and bad of building a hackintosh and it will save you a lot of headaches when you go itno it..
You'll need some software from there anyway. Buy your parts right, follow their advice and you should be good to go. With the newer builds, once you get OSX up and running it's just like being on a mac, only cheaper.
Good luck.
