Assuming you have a keyboard, mouse and monitor, the system below will give a very nice basic hackintosh that fully supported by Lion using Tony Mac’s UniBeast tool.

Do you have Canadian pricing on this?
Would everything…like facetime work?
Is it that easy to assemble…
Can you add regular ram to a macmini or would you have to buy Apple ram?
Thanks
Yes, I added 16 GB of Mushkin DDR3 Ram to my build…piecing a hackintosh is easy as building a computer. I have not tried Facetime.
