You will be booting your Hackintosh from this Niresh DVD, in order to install OS X Mountain Lion. Multibeast (Free): Multibeast is a collection of kext files that your Hackintosh will need to run properly, after the initial installation. Be sure to download the newest version 5 of Multibeast, not the older versions 3 or 4 (which are for Snow Leopard and Lion, respectively).
A DVD: In this guide, you will write Niresh onto a DVD, and boot your computer from Niresh to install Mac OS X.The standard method of installing Mountain Lion on a PC requires you to modify a retail copy of OS X Mountain Lion with Unibeast, but Niresh already does all of this for you. Niresh 10.8.2 (Free): Niresh is a "distro" of OS X Mountain Lion. I won't go into details, but you can download it from just about any bittorrent website by using a bittorrent client (it's a little less than 5 GB in size).As far as we know, Niresh will not work on a hard drive where Windows is already installed. Also, Mac OS X needs its own hard drive- a minimum of 10 GB of space is required, but at least 50 GB of space is recommended. Be sure to read the Hackintosh compatibility guide very carefully, to check whether or not your computer qualifies. However, not every computer will work with Mac OS X.

If your computer already has Mac OS X Lion installed, Niresh will just update Lion to Mountain Lion normally, without deleting any of your apps or files. It can be the same computer as the one mentioned in the previous point. A Hackintosh-compatible computer with an empty hard drive: This is the computer where you will install OS X Mountain Lion.
Make sure your computer has a DVD/Bluray burner (just about every DVD/Bluray drive nowadays can act as a burner, too).

To set up iAtkos on Windows, you have to use special software like Transmac.
DMG files are rather difficult to work with, since they don't work with Windows by default. Meanwhile, iAtkos is distributed as a "DMG" file, which is a proprietary "disk image" format made by Apple.
