Hey all! I was browsing around today, and saw that there was no "Post your hackintosh" thread. So, without further ado, please post your Hackintosh! 
Got a tip for us?

Whoops, let me rephrase that! Most Hackintosh builds re very ugly, but if you use an old Mac Pro case, they look much better.My real Mac is so much prettier.
There is? I skimmed though the forum and didn't see one. Sorry for the inconvenience.
Actually, I don't think there has been a "Post your Hackintosh" thread- just something like post your Hackintosh geekbench scores. I could be wrong though.
Anyway, here's mine:
Yup. That's it in all its glory. This is pretty much all that actually shows of it.
My monitor setup is twin 23" NECs:
I'm running OSX 10.7 and loving it- this system -in various configurations- has run every version of OSX since 10.5.5 and it's still going strong. Still rocking a Core2 Quad, but I'll eventually upgrade to an i7. I'm waiting on the right Sandybridge/Hackintosh solution first.
I used to have the PC in a standard case that sat inside a closet, but the move to my new smaller 'man cave' led to my reconfiguring it. Why even bother with a PC case that has to go inside the desk, when I may as well just make the desk into the computer case. This solved any airflow and heat problems I may have had otherwise.
When you open the door, here's what the Hackintosh really looks like:
The motherboard is mounted to an acrylic test bench, and 3 of my hard drives are in their own rack with a 120mm fan strapped to it. (Below the DVD-R). Another hard drive is on the underside of the test bench. I may eventually mount the DVD-R under the lower shelf, but it's not a high priority- I barely use it.
