I'm planning to build a Hackintosh with the EVGA Classified SR-2. I hope you have some luck so I can follow what you did. I'm going to buy a GeForce GTS 250 to use with Mac OS X though since there are no drivers for the GTX 480 for OSX.

it is possible so long as you have hardware on apple's approved list. it is a lot easier to do now then it was 3 years ago.
