SbMfr Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 Check out my topic over there: http://www.aspireoneuser.com/forum/viewtop...f=14&t=1505 To get wifi to work, you'll have to replace the wifi card with a Dell DW1390, DW1490, DW1500 or another model recognized by the airport components of the OS. You can get them real cheap on eBay. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122656-acer-one-running-leopard/#findComment-867810 Share on other sites More sharing options...

zakfontaine Posted August 25, 2008 Share Posted August 25, 2008 I just ordered mine off of microcenter.com. It was 350$ then after shipping/tax 395$. It's the 120gb hdd, 1gb ram, xp home model. Also, I just ordered a dw1390 off of ebay for 12$ after shipping. Should be a great little hackintosh.

zakfontaine Posted August 26, 2008 Share Posted August 26, 2008 ok thanks now to load up osx86 you need an external dvd drive how much whould that cost and where (i cant find one on the acer website) I'm not sure..newegg.com would probably have them. However, if you have an external HDD you can make it bootable via the guide on the aspireoneuser forum. That's what I plan on doing. Mine will be in tomorrow, so I'll tell you how it goes.

Or is the enclosure made JUST for HDDs. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/122656-acer-one-running-leopard/#findComment-869043 Share on other sites More sharing options...
