I've been using this system for a long time now, don't know if many people know it or not.

IBM running Mac OS, and reliably too.

I tried to get OSX working on every single one of my desktops with various hacked images for a week before I gave up. It is not "easy" unless you have The One Magical System Where It Works and/or an EFI BIOS.

The ThinkCentre M52 8113-DCU is one of the magical systems.. it boots to the DVD with the GUI installer, and installs just great.

only can update with the patched updaters though.. though overall it's like a real mac.. has an EFI layer too..
