So you are saying that if I cobbled up a machine from parts that would

Yeah, you seem like a hackintosh kinda guy.


You didn't answer the question. Does that free OS have to be tied to a
serial number?



I don't think so but not sure. When I upgraded from 10.8.5 to 10.9.1
(Mavericks) I don't recall the website asking for a serial number.
It's possible that the download automatically seeks and finds it on the
computer, but I don't know.

I was a little nervous doing the upgrade because I was still not all
that familiar with the iMac but it upgraded without a hitch.
