[QUOTE="Raz0rEdge, post: 1438107, member: 110816"] Welcome to Mac-Forums You cannot run OS X on non-Apple hardware. You will absolutely need to purchase a Mac to do what you want. You can run Lion 10.7 or Mountain Lion 10.8 on most Mac's after 2009 or so. I just recently picked up a 2009 20" iMac for my daughter to get started her on from eBay and got a pretty good deal for it. You can probably spend less for a newer Mac Mini but that would require that you have a monitor, keyboard and mouse already. Let us know what your budget is and we might make some more concrete suggestions. Also check out the listings in eBay to get an idea of what your money will get you.. [/QUOTE]
