If it had all the same parts, it would BE a Mac

First off, a pc and a Mac have a different way of starting up, or booting. PC hardware with the same processor, chipsets (mobo, vid, sound, ether, etc), will still need to be tweaked using the stuff that the OSX86 gurus put together to make it run. As for the EXACT parts in a mac, like I said: that would be a Mac, and probably more expensive than buying a new unit.

The closer you are to the specs of a Mac, the easier it is to load using one of the OSX86 installers. (Intel is easier than AMD, for instance) Some motherboard/CPU combos are slam dunk easy installs, and others need a little more work. Keep reading and you see what I mean. There are whole lists of compatible equipment from which to choose to build up your system. Hope this answers your question, at least in part.

God made man knowing his new creation would not live up to Gods' own standards, so God gave him a loophole, ignorance. Now man can exist in their imperfect state and God won't have to squish him. So, if I am ignorant at times, chill. God made me that way.
