![]() ![]() Here in this community I still see people trying to hackintosh with really old hardware from the Intel Core 2 Duo era of 2006-2009. The low price makes it within reach of everyone. You won't have to assemble anything other than possibly installing some ram and an SSD. This is one of the best choices for your first hackintosh system.

You can not do any better than this low price to get a fully functional Big Sur or Monterey hackintosh. A Windows 10 Home or Pro license is included if you want to dual boot on your 3020.
