rayman121985 Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Hey everyone, First of all thank you for all your input and suggestions! I have about $350.00 to spend on a hackintosh. Can someone please compile for me a build that WILL run a leopard hackintosh disc. I currently have iATKOS/Kalaway Leopard discs ( Pre patched ). I want a build that will pretty much be ready to go once installed. I know you have to do some work ect to get it going but I want something that pretty much is good to go after installation. So if anyone can help me get some parts picked out I would appreciate it either AMD or INTEL. If you want you can add newegg links to the parts you choose =P. Again thanks very very much! ::rayman:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MitchBomcanhao Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 i have Gigabyte GA-P35C-DS3R Intel 2160 1.8GHz 2GB ddr2 800 gskill ram Nvidia 8600gt fatal1ty sata hard drive pata dvd-rw after install with kalyway 10.5.1, i only need to install drivers for graphics card and audio, which is easy to do (i already keep the files, they have auto-installers ) everything works really nice, sound is only 2.1 (at the moment) but i can live with that. the prices... you don't have to get the exact ram or gfx card that i have, so go for the cheapest you can get gigabyte goes for 115 dollars e2160 for $75 ram for $50 (depends on brands, could be more, could be less) gfx card for around $100 (estimate - not sure of market prices now) hard drive for $50 dvd for $25 thats a total of 415 dollars, but i'm not sure if you need all the parts (maybe you have an older computer to spare parts).

Korrupted Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 For a really tight budget hack, I'd recommend: CPU: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116064 E1200 Dual core 1.6ghz $58.99 RAM: 2GB DDR2 800(about $50) MOBO: GA-P35-DS3L($99) GFX: Geforce 7300GT ($38) DVD drive ($30, sata or ide) 80GB hard drive: (sata preferred) ($36) Total:$311 It's pretty low end, but allows for future upgradability.

rayman121985 Posted February 11, 2008 Author Share Posted February 11, 2008 Thanks so much buddy! What hackintosh cd would you go with for this build? Kalaway or iATKOS or maybe something else? Also I am far away from where I can get any connection to an ethernet plug/router. Do you know of any wireless dongles or wireless pci cards I can add that will work with this? Thanks mucho! ::rayman:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Korrupted Posted February 11, 2008 Share Posted February 11, 2008 Kalyway is generally the most popular, it seems. I'd check in the HCL for wifi stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayman121985 Posted February 12, 2008 Author Share Posted February 12, 2008 I know this is not going to be great system but it seems like it will outperform a mac book since it has a 7300 video card! This will be quite a nice little system to play hackintosh with! One last thing before I order this stuff! 1. Is there any motherboards in the 50ish-60 range. I thought I saw somewhere there was on some post. 2. Is the ATI cards not as good as the 7300? Or maybe its just the 7300 work better. Was just checking b/c I have never had a ATI card and thought it might be cool to try it! 3.I don't need a Ethernet card right b/c the onboard Ethernet should work just fine on this gigabyte mobo? Thanks for your smart advice buddy! I got everything on newegg ready to roll! ::rayman:: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
