As a small project, I set out to build an extremely cheap hackintosh. I have ended up with an entirely free hackintosh using scrap parts from relatives old computers that they were throwing out. It is running El Capitan due to the processor being limited to SSE3, but I can get an sse4 processor for £5 and get it running Mojave. Currently it has fully working networking, graphics, and sleep. Even full resolution boot screen with vbios patch. The specs are:
Pentium E5700, 12GB DDR3, Acer motherboard (pulled from an all-in-one), GeForce GT 240 1GB, 7200rpm 1TB HDD
And it actually runs quite well. It’s surprisingly snappy and more than capable of doing what I need it to do (Watch YouTube videos, Netflix etc). It’s connected to my TV as a kind of home theatre PC. It’s very quiet as well.
