ptnyc Posted September 13, 2009 Share Posted September 13, 2009 ISO NYC-area Hackintosh Genius to Build Me a Kick-Ass i7 System Though I could probably do this myself, I'd prefer an experienced geek in the NYC area (I'm in Brooklyn) to build me a fast imaging hackintosh workstation for photoshop CS4, lightroom 2, and nikon capture nx2 version 2.2.2. I want a machine as fast if not faster than the 2.93ghz 4-core Nehalem mac pro. I don't care about gaming or sound quality. I have my own raid card and sata drives, so will only need a very fast dual boot drive (10.5.8 and 10.6.1). I'm going to need 12gb of RAM, so 6 banks of 2gb. I want i7 920 (or new 860?), overclocked with stability to hopefully 3.5 ghz or higher. I need space for at least 8x3.5 sata drives on the interior, preferably 10. So a case with easy drive accessibility. Just one fast DVD burner--no bluray necessary. As for a graphics card, perhaps the gtx285 or the gt8800 since it's cheaper or a 4870 because I don't game or do video editing. I will also need 2 firewire 800 and 2 400 ports and the usual usb2 ports on front if possible, also a couple of esata ports would be nice. I will put my highpoint raid 2314 card into it--it's mac and pc compatible. You could make a buying list for me at newegg. I'm looking to spend no more than $1200 on components. I could buy all the stufff and give it to you or have it shipped to you and you build and test the rig with 10.5.8 and Snow Leopard 10.6.1. I would pay you a mutually agreed upon builder fee to put it all together. I'm looking to have this done in the next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrdelurk Posted April 15, 2010 Share Posted April 15, 2010 Well, one could always ship a built i7 Hackintosh unit. Just curious, what is the going price to have one built with a 920 chip, overclocked to 4GHz? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
