djet Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Okay this is sorta a "more focused on InsanelyMac" game than others. You will compete to create the cheapest comp with the specified specs and it HAS to work. Doesn't have to be a Hackintosh though, just any computer. First round: Specs: (not that computer savvy so these will be simple) <=100 GB HD <=3GB RAM <=2.0 Ghz <=15" Display CD/DVD drive (can be 2 or combined drive) Keyboard and Mouse OPERATING SYSTEM (Mac or WIndows) It MUST work so you need to add a Mobo, case, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually have a pretty good gaming rig planned for just under $500, minus the display, keyboard/mouse, and OS. I could post it if anyone's interested. All the parts were also from eWiz. Someone should make a "Best Cheapest Gaming Builds" post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
