The HowTo's I've found for my target MB all require a running Snow
Leopard machine to prep the HD for the Hackintosh.
Snow Leopard requires an Intel chip model, to begin with. Craigslist is a
good place to troll for old macs once you decide which one.

Yup!
I grabbed a aforementioned Portrait monitor at the univ junk sale,
(it was already OLD then) then donated it to the lady (maybe 12 years
ago) who edited my thesis and dissertation. She could do stuff on
the small monitor, like email and daily grind stuff, while she had a
word file up
The better widescreen monitors can be rotated to a portrait orientation. Very
nice when doing word processing or code editing.

I have one, bought from the neighbor's company when they switched to
PCs 15 years ago or so.
Lovely machine, it's the only one I'm keeping.
Pretty spiff for 1990: the IIfx has a 40 MHz processor, and mine has
24 M of memory, in the day when a PC usually only held 4M.
System 7.1 on it,
The IIfx ran a cool $10,000.

I donated a bunch of my older macs to the kids' school because at the
time they were running Apple IIs in the classroom and I had a stack of
IIci and IIsi, as well as the Mac II. Think I gave them two dozen,
with monitors for most.
Now they purchase a dozen macbooks at a time each year,

First no monitor mac was the plain Mac II. Huge box with six NUBUS
