    Hi guys,

    Just wondering about the new PC i'm getting built for me on PC specialist and the price can nearly be reduced be 100 euro if i don't get windows installed on it , and as i want to install mac software, it would be a good idea to just get no software installed ?? Right ? But my question is can i install mac software on the computer easily without a running system, and will it be costly ?

    Really appreciate any help:)

    ^^

    Thats a hakintosh you're talking about. Its technically illegal IIRC and is not easy to do. Also, it only works on certain hardware(specific motherboards etc).

    And yes, you need an OS(Operating system).

    What you could do is buy windows, then install vmware, buy OSX and run it in that. But that'd be expensive, take a performance hit and is probably above your level.

    If you want to run OSX you should buy a mac tbh, the workarounds are quite nerdy and from your post it'll likely be a little too advanced for you.
