DrSupachicken Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Hey Guys, I'm looking at putting together a new hackintosh to run as my server for the time being. This is the gear that I am looking at. Gigabyte EP45-DS3R - Everything seems to be working on this ie... sleep, shutdown, restart and audio Intel Q6600 G0 Stepping - Good value CPU and over clocks well. 8GB DDR2 1066MHz Nvidia 8800 512MB - Not overly expensive but quite good performance. SATA DVD-RW What I will need is a raid card so I can have a raid 0 setup on 300GB raptors. If anyone can suggest something I would appreciate it. Going to be running 10.5 server.

candykane Posted October 23, 2008 Share Posted October 23, 2008 Get a asus P5W DH its getting old yes but is 100% working (sleep sound wireles ect ect) And has a working hardware raid onboard! witch saves you some cash. RAID 0 (Fast Raid) or 1(Mirror) On Asus P5W DH and all the sata ports work. so you can connect 6 sata drives but you realy sould ask in the buying section Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmmm... Good one's would be LSI / Areca then... Highpoint / Promise Product varies from price to performance ratio, choose wisely... :censored2: Regards, hoyanf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
