Default The All Black Little Mac Vostro has arrived! (Pictures) - 06-07-2009, 02:45 AM

My A90 Vostro arrived Thursday - and I was jazzed!



Unfortunately, I had to wait until my RunCore and Mac Box Set arrived. Once both were here earlier this afternoon, I swiftly retired to the man cave (office-garage) and began to follow lantzn's guide to Install Mac OS X on a RunCore drive from a Mac.

Unfortunately, Patches spied me entering the man cave and decided she was a higher priority:





After a short cat nap, she let me go back to work!

I am pleased to report that Mac OS X installed nicely on the RunCore, and was updated to 10.5.7. I chose to install the DELL EFI 1.2a5 Alpha Release shortly thereafter. This was a fun and flawless install; my very first Hackintosh!



The All Black Little Mac next to the Daddy iMac.



The Vostro A90 is one snappy machine running OS X. I love it!

Thank you, lantzn and all of you hard-working, knowledgeable pioneers who made this all possible! I am grateful for the privilege to be a member of the DELL Mini Community!

Cheers!


Kevin

Hi there! No plans to mod the cover or bezel, no. I fancy the DELL insignias actually - and when I show folks my desktop background and they notice the OS X menu bar and dock, the look of surprise is worth it.

Now, if there ever becomes a way to light up that logo like the apple ones do, I'd be tempted!
