I want to build a desktop to run OS X for cheap. My price range would be around $500 bucks with most of the parts I can get it else where. (HDD, DVD)

 

I think all I need is a very compatible motherboard + CPU + big monitor + RAM.

 

I think most people recommend Asus P35 for motherboard.

Can someone point me to a newegg link for a good motherboard for OS X (90-100% compatible)?. There are too many of them with variety of prices on newegg.

 

Things I need: build in sound, build in graphics, build in wifi working, and I would like to have some cheap CPU to go with it (duo core >2.4ghz), this should come out about $180, right?

 

RAM: 2-3Gb of ram should not cost over $50. Am I correct? I've been in laptop market for too long.

 

LCD: I'm looking to get a cheap 20in Dell.

 

Am I missing anything? I'll get a SATA HDD from a friend. DVD writer, I guess I can salvage the NEC floating around, but it's 30 bucks for a new one anyway.

 

Keyboard and mouse should be plenty around the house.

 

Thanks for any help.
