Tony Watson Posted October 9, 2008 Share Posted October 9, 2008 More accurately, I'm converting my old PC to a Hackintosh. I'm mainly going to be using it for music editing and graphic design work, so it doesn't need to be a powerhouse, it just needs to run OSX competently. I'm trying to do this as absolutely inexpensively as possible, so I'm going to use my existing case, power supply, DVD-RW, hard drive, and wireless adapter. Here are the components I'm updating: Mobo:Intel BOXDG31PR LGA 775 Intel G31 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard $64.99 Processor: Intel Pentium E2180 Allendale 2.0GHz 1MB L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor $69.99 Memory: CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel $49.99 - $30 MIR Video card: BIOSTAR V8402GL26 GeForce 8400 GS 256MB 64-bit GDDR2 PCI Express x16 $29.99 - $10 MIR With shipping, my total comes to $226.98. After MIRs, I'm sitting at $186.98. I've checked out all my components as best as possible on the wiki, but just wanted to see if everyone thought I made good decisions or should make any changes before I send the order through in a couple days.

BigPimpin Posted October 10, 2008 Share Posted October 10, 2008 That's nice. Too bad this isn't the right forum for asking about compatibility issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
