Here are the parts to build the base Mac Pro for only $1,148 instead of $2,499: LifehackerвЂ™s Adam Dachis compiled a long listВ of parts that will allow you to build a Hackintosh that matches or exceeds the new Mac ProвЂ™s specs on the cheap (though we are not sure how a Core i7 3.4GHzis going to do versus a Mac Pro Xeon!). With the recent Mac Pro spec refreshВ disappointingВ manyВ and not taking advantage of modern technology such as Thunderbolt, USB3, SATA3 or just about anything less than three-years-old, maybe it is time to consider building one. We told you about our affectionВ for Hackintoshs before. Developers already have what is likely the Golden Master вЂ“В build number isВ 12A269, aВ 4.34 GB Mac App Store download.

OS X 10.8 Mountain Lion will be a $19.99 upgrade which will hit the Mac App Store on launch day. But, there is already under two weeks left in July, and with last yearвЂ™s launch pattern prime for repetition (launch announcement during the upcoming earnings call), weвЂ™d say a July 25th launch is increasingly likely. On the other hand, Apple often holds Tuesday overnights, so this July 24th overnight may simply be a coincidence, and Apple may not launch OS X Mountain Lion on the 25th. Notably, some stores weвЂ™ve spoken to havenвЂ™t heard of any overnightвЂ¦yet. One employee tells us that it is basically just a few guys running around with the master image installing it on every Mac. This year, Mountain Lion isnвЂ™t being launched alongside hardware (last yearВ new Minis and AirsВ launched with Lion) so there is less setup required and accordingly, weвЂ™re hearing that the overnights will be smaller.

It appears that Apple may follow that same pattern this year. For OS X LionвЂ™s launchВ last year, Apple announced the July 20th release at its July 19th Q3 2011 earnings announcement. This purported launch would be July 25th, a date that we speculated when Apple announced that its Q3 2012 earnings would be announced on the 24th.

With OS X Mountain Lion launching вЂњin JulyвЂќ, according to Apple, we believe that it is sensible to speculate that this overnight may point to a public launch the following day. WeвЂ™ve heard a few whispers (3 and counting) that Apple Stores both in the United States and overseas have planned overnights for Tuesday, July 24th.
