Nomis, try your hand at a Hackintosh if you don't have the budget for a proper Mac, search up tonymacx86 on Google for all the info you need, plus you could even run a proper dual boot system, or even just wipe the drives clean and run any other OS!

Here's a pic of the motherboard I scored:
Okay, I managed to remove the CPU Heatsink from the motherboard easily enough, as it turns out here's the verdict on the CPU, it is an Intel i5-3330 running at 3.0Ghz, I'm not sure if the motherboard still works, or if the CPU is still good, I'll have to try it out one day.
The motherboard has Z77 Pro4-M written on it, so I'm assuming that's the motherboard model number.
I just googled the specs on the CPU, apparently it's a Quad Core.

As it turns out, the motherboard I scored is an ASRock Z77Pro4-M, what's even more interesting is I have just read something on that tonymacx86 about some guy asking if an ASRock Z77Pro4-M motherboard can be used to build a Hackintosh, he got a comment saying that it can, so if I can get the motherboard to work, I might see if I can have a go at building a Hackintosh out of it mate.
