1. Credits/Sources
Ev ery thing OSx86 -related is a collaborativ e effort am ongst people who enjoy doing these things, as well as those of us who enjoy tweaking and experim enting with things. Below are a list of sources used to com pile this guide: 1 . Tech Erra (http://thetecherra.com /) 2 . OSX86 Wiki (http://wiki.osx86 project.org/wiki/index.php/Main_Page) 3 . Insanely Mac (http://www.insanely m ac.com /) 4 . Forum member Pingu from Germany for helping me out wit h t he t ext changes. 5. And all ot her forum members who have post ed in my t opic and helping out t he communit y .
2. Requirements
Here are the requirem ents: 1 . A Dell Opt iplex 7 80 This is necessary to install OSX Mav ericks for this tutorial 2 . A copy of Mac OS X This can be in the form of an existing hackintosh, a v irtual m achine within Windows or Linux, or ev en a regular Mac. If y ou dont hav e any of these things, then find som eone who can help y ou out for a while. I prefer using a hackintosh with OSX Mountain Lion. Using an already working copy of Mac OS X either in a VM or a nativ e hackintosh install is HIGHLY recom m ended. 3 . A 8GB USB flash drive (or larger) Well be copy ing the files to the driv e appropriately , so m ake sure that y ou hav e a flash driv e with enough storage space (8GB or larger). 4 . A copy Mavericks 10.9 GM If y ou dont hav e a Mac Dev eloper Account, then y oull find torrents of 1 0.9 around the web. 5. 30-60 minut es of t ime Depending on how tech-sav v y y ou are, this m ay be quick, or it m ay take a while. 6 . An SSD or HDD t o inst all 10.9 t o For m e, I used a 500GB partition to install 1 0.9 to. 7 . An PCI Express Video Card For use with QE and CI Highly recommended. I use a Ati Radeon HD54 50 1 GB but 51 2 MB or 2 GB also works. 8. Inst all109.zip (http://www.iferrari.nl/downloads/install1 09 .zip) This ZIP file contains everything that y ou need to get y our flash driv e properly prepared. Not e: The files for num ber 8 "Install1 09 .zip" contains the following Directory 's (4 ) and files: Kernel - Mach Kernel Kext s - FakeSMC.kext - NullCPUPowerManagem ent.kext - EliottForceLegacy RTC.kext - AppleIntelE1 000e.kext VoodooHDA.kext OSInst all - OSInstall - OSInstall.m pkg (Not used for m y configuration because I use the entire hard disk) Ut ils - Cham eleon-2 .2 sv n-r2 2 6 5 - Cham eleon Wizard - Kext Utility - EFI Studio - ShowHiddenFiles The first 3 .kext files will fix m ost kernel panics en bios reset that y ou m ight experience while booting. The 2 OSInstall files will allow y ou to install 1 0.9 onto an MBR-partitioned driv e ( ! this is not tested, for further info go to insaneley m ac forum (http://www.insanely m ac.com /forum /files/file/9 9 -m av ericks-m br-patch/) !).
3. My Specs
My installation was successfully done on an Dell Optiplex 7 80 Desktop com puter with the following specs. NOTE: A PCI v ideo card is recom m ended to use the full potential of OSX Mav ericks because the on board v ideo card doesn't support QE/CI. Intel Core 2 Duo E7 500 @ 2 .9 3 GHz 8GB DDR3 1 3 3 3 Mhz RAM Western Digital 500GB HDD ATI RADEON HD54 50 1 GB Intel WG82 56 7 LM onboard network Bluetooth USB Cam bridge silicon radio (works OOB) ADI 1 9 84 A HDA audio onboard

Also add section concerning Optiplex 7 80 built-in sound speaker - in order to work y ou hav e to add to VoodooHDA info.plist this NodeToPatch setting:

What y ou can do is to Copy the OSInstall.m pkg file (in m y zipfile Install1 09 .zip in the directory OSInstall) to /Sy stem /Installation/Packages/, renam e the file thats already there and past it in the folder. After that boot again to y our setup.

You need also both kext files the EliottForceLegacy RTC.kext is for bios reset and the fakesm c for The Sy stem Managem ent Controller like fan control sleep and m ore sy stem related hardware for intel base m acs. But the sleep issue still exist on the dell 7 80.
