egroeg Posted May 3, 2008 Share Posted May 3, 2008 Not sure if this is the right place to post but I'd like to know if the the following components would be compatible with osx86. I think they should be but it'd be good to know for sure. Antec Sonata III case 4GB RAM Asus P5GC-MX1333 Motherboard 320GB HItachi HDD Sony DRU190A 20x DVD Drive Intel Core 2 Duo E8400 Nvidia XFX GeForce 8800GTS with COD4 Btw I'm a complete noob to this so any comments/advice would nice.

vaporATX Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 Nobody has written drivers for that case, sorry. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/103031-is-this-hardware-compatible/#findComment-735166 Share on other sites More sharing options...

vaporATX Posted May 4, 2008 Share Posted May 4, 2008 I was just teasing you. I personally hate that Sonata case. It's cramped, noisy, has marginal airflow, and is a finger print magnet. If you want a nice Antec case get a P180 or above. It doesn't come with a power supply, but you don't want that garbage that comes in the Sonata anyway. http://www.amazon.co.uk/Antec-Advanced-Sup...7875&sr=1-1 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/103031-is-this-hardware-compatible/#findComment-735490 Share on other sites More sharing options...
egroeg Posted May 4, 2008 Author Share Posted May 4, 2008 Is the sonata really that bad? Do I need any fans with that setup? If so could anyone recommend a good value one.

It's not that bad, I just don't like it for the reasons I listed. The P180 is a far better case for the same money. If you are looking for more of a mini mid look at the Mini P180.

The Sonata III is fine, I've got one myself. The power supply is actually great, better than other ones you'll find with a case. 500w is definately enough to power all you've got As for your other parts, I have no idea. Just search the site for what you want to buy, and see if anyone is having any problems. I'm personally running a GA-P35-DS3L with an 8800GTS G92 and I love it Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/103031-is-this-hardware-compatible/#findComment-735563 Share on other sites More sharing options...
egroeg Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 What about the Antec 900 ultimate gamers case anyone had any good/bad experiences with it?

vaporATX Posted May 5, 2008 Share Posted May 5, 2008 What about the Antec 900 ultimate gamers case anyone had any good/bad experiences with it? If you like spinning lights, windows, and a huge goofy fan in the top of the case this one if for you. If you want a case that is quiet, has excellent cable management, has removable drive bays with drive isolation, has an isolated power supply bay that doubles as a place for a future water setup... basically a case that has everything this one doesn't... go with the P180 I mentioned earlier.
