I haven't had a hackintosh* for a few years now, but I am wanting to

build a really, really, really, awesome desktop machine. however I

don't see much out there about using the xeons.

 

Does anyone currently have two four core xeons with a ton of memory

running? I'd love to hear about your setup. My end goal is around 8

cores, ~24g memory, ~1 TB R10 with a couple stupid large monitors.

 

Help a brotha out!

 

 

 

 

* last hackintosh was a tablet pc, with all built-ins except the camera

working.

I have done just this. I have a Dell Precision T7400 workstation -

 

2x Xeon X5472 CPUs - 3ghz quad core each

32GB RAM

120GB Corsair Force 3 SSD for the OS

2x 300GB 15,000 RPM SAS drives in RAID 0

2x 1TB WD Green Drives

nVidia Quadro FX3700 GPU (will be replacing this with a GTX285)

 

Have installed OS X 10.7.2 by way of iATKOS L2.

Installed without. Hitch and is running perfectly. Only issues are having to boot verbosely and not being able to sign in to the app store.
