First post (thanks for all the great info) and here is my system:

 

CPU: AMD Opteron 170 currently running @ 2.5Ghz

Motherboard: DFI LANParty Ultra-D - Everything working, finally got USB2.0 working! woot!

RAM: Mushkin Redline XP4000 2GB

Video: eVGA 7800GTX 256MB (Everything working QE/CI/Q2DE, DVI not fully working though)

HD: WD Raptor 150GB, Seagate 320GB (both SATA)

Monitor: Gateway FPD2185W (1680x1050)

 

Currently running OSX 10.4.9 Uphuck

 

Remaining issues that are low priority:

 

Get DVI working so I can get a 30 inch LCD

Figure out why "About this Mac" doesn't work, worked with 10.4.8

[Snerler]

I have:

 

Processor: 4200 X2

Mobo: WinFast NF4SK8AA

Video: Ati X1800XT --- Pci-e

 

 

This works very well for me -- no stuttering, sound, ethernet, dual-core, full video accelaration. The only drawback of the setup is that i can only use SATA for storage, but cant intall OS X on SATA so I use an IDE drive instead.

AMD X2 3000+ (2.2GHz)

ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe

nForce 570 (MCP55) SATA not working, PATA working perfectly with SATA driver, found somewhere here

ADI AD1988B, stereo only with Azalia driver, mic not working

USB working fine

ASUS EN7300GS (works for me, I haven't tried DVI/Dual monitor and TV-OUT)

Installed Leopard and upgraded to 10.5.1 using MeDevils SATA driver from http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=77071.

 

Working : SATA

Somewhat : VESA Display (1024x768 only) / Choppy sound / Keyboard and mouse (<50% of the time)

Not Working : IDE (DVD Drive)/Ethernet/WiFi BCM 94311

 

But Leopard runs! Thats an improvement from not having it run at all ;-)

A wee bit late to the game, but I was bored this weekend, so I decided to give it a shot.

 

MSI K9N SLI Platinum

AMD 64 X2 4400

XFX GeForce 7600

4 GB DDR2

M-Audio Firewire Audiophile & Audigy 2 Platinum

More bloody drives than you can shake a stick at.

Dual 19" widescreen LCD's

 

Everything works (a little tinkering here and there for the audio, video and LAN) from installing Friday night and was happily getting ready to go out Saturday night with iTunes pulling tasty tunes off the file server. By Sunday I'd pretty much mirrored my work install (I'm a Mac support guy for a school district) and even had a few new toys working. All in all, I'm impressed. I setup ssh tunneling last night and FUSE'd my workstation at the shop to home today to migrate my some projects over while things were slow...

 

Funny thing is, I'm the Mac guy, but both my laptops and my home desktop run either Linux or BSD (well... and Windows for PS and Sonar). At least now I've got a Mac at home to play with.

My system is running like a charm, everything's up and running!

Installed using iDeneb v1.3, 10.5.5

Here is my hardware and what drivers I use.

 

CPU: AMD Phenom X4 9500 @ 2.2GHz

Chipset: Nvidia nForce 430

RAM: 3GB DDR II SDRAM 667 MHz PC2-5300

HDD: 2 x 500 GB, Serial ATA-300

Graphics: Nvidia GeForce 8800GT 512 MB

Onboard LAN: PCI Realtek RTL8201N

I also had to bypass the "welcome setup" because it looped after "do you already own a mac".

Hope this is useful to someone..

Where are you guys getting your chipset values? I use CPUZ in Vista on my Phenom setup. It comes up with Pegatron Viola version 2.03. Chipset says nvidia nForce 720a rev. A2

SouthBridge: nvidia ID075C

please tell me the missing info on my mobo...

Ok, i found out it's called the ASUS M2N78-LA mobo. What about my chipsets though?

[pootn20]

I'm running iDeneb 10.5.6. Runs perfectly. Oh I dual boot Windows 7, and I like it!

 

AMD X2 6000+

GIGABYTE GA-M57SLI-S4 AM2 NVIDIA nForce 570 SLI MCP ATX AMD Motherboard

G.SKILL 4GB DDR2 800

Seagate Barracuda 250GB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s Hard Drive

ATI Radeon 4850 512MB

 

Audio uses Azailia Drivers for stereo out, and the onboard LAN doesn't work, but i got a card for that.

I had TONS of data transfer problems when I ran a 8800gt. It would lock up if I downloaded or transferred files larger than 700 MB.

All that went away when I got the 4850. BIG thanks to Netkas for the insanely easy to install drivers to hook me up with full acceleration!

iLife 09 works like a charm. I'm very happy with my Mac and I plan on buying a real one soon!

I've never worked on anything for so long in my life! I love projects tho so it's been very rewarding to finally finish.

OS: iDeneb v1.4 (OSX 10.5.6)

 

Built in audio will only work partially (only 2 channels are detected using the ALC888 option on the iDeneb DVD), I am currently using a Xi-Fi Surround 5.1 USB device to achieve surround sound (and using a combination of Soundflower and AU Lab, all stereo sound can be upmixed to make use of all 6 channels). Graphics card requires EVGA's GTX 285 for Mac driver + the netkas.org loader, fully works. CD/DVD Burning is as of this moment not supported using the AppleATIATA kext. Because the amount of ram is > 2GB, the mentioned kext must be replaced with a patched version from the darwin-ata project (google code) to work with the entire amount of ram. After replacing, the system runs almost entirely stable, sometimes the volume icon is missing from the top bar, and sometimes the sound just becomes random noise, this is fixed by quiting the AU Lab application and then re-opening it. The system achieves scores of around 4400 in GeekBench, Mac OSX has absolutely no problem using 3 cores, in fact I find it uses them rather effectively.
