Hello Mac Hackers, I want to put together a Hackintosh.

 

I have been succesfull with an ACER 2920Z all working except

for built in ethernet and vga out. I love it.

 

I have a donor pc lying about :) Its a dell i can reuse some of its parts.

 

Core 2 duo 2Ghz cpu which seems solid enough, should clock to 3Ghz.

3GB memory 2X 1GB + 2 X 512 DDR2- 667

Onboard graphics with no PCI Express slot on the board.

 

Below is what i plan to do.

 

Rip out the {censored} Dell mainboard/Case/PSU and place in bin.

 

Need a Mainboard for a Hackintosh that has working firewire/audio/gigabit lan.

Single PCI-Express slot, 4 sata at least. Can overclock well. MATX or ATX don't care.

Firewire must work!

 

Re-use Coolermaster ATCS 201 7 years old Case Timeless

(4th pc in the same case and now 1 Mac!)

PC 1 AMD Athlon 1Ghz/ PC 2 Athlon XP 1.8Ghz/ PC 3 Intel p4 2.8/ PC4 AMD X2-3800

MAC 1 ;) Core 2 Duo @ 3ghz/ 1TB Space + 3GB Ram

 

Hard Disk.I want Speed here, I want a really fast booting System!.

Samsung SpinPoint F1 1TB SATA-II 32MB Cache.

Can the mac do software RAID 0? Cause i might go for 2 X 620GB.

 

Graphics Card.

ATI X850XT PE PCI-Express i have spare. Will this work? Im dont plan to game much on this system but i want a lightning responsive desktop. Long as it runs World of Warcraft.

 

Thankyou for advice.
