Is there a term for a Mac running an unsupported config?

Like a bunch of PC cards, a PC video card flashed with Mac firmware, using EFI32 wrapper to get 64-bit OS X running, etc?

It's in a Mac, but none of it is supported configurations. It's all hacked together. A hacked Macintosh, if you will.

Just got a MacPro2,1, actually.

Saved and modified my Radeon HD5870 firmware, then flashed it to the card in DOS. It's using a weird SATA to Molex to PCIe adapter for power. I just got a Mini 6-pin to 6-pin adapter, though.

I'm trying to find more info on best "PC stuff" to cram in a Mac. My actual Hackintosh setup doesn't get used much any more. OS X updates kept killing stuff, I had to keep re-loading the audio drivers, etc. So now I mostly have second-hand Macs, filled with compatible-stuff ordered off Newegg.

I'm trying to find a good USB 3.0 card for OS X.
