DESCRIPTION

Here we have a brand new high performance gaming PC with Windows Vista and Mac OSX Leopard. At the core of this beast is an overclocked and completely stable Intel E8500 Core 2 Duo Processor at 3.56GHz. This has been stress tested at 100% usage on both cores for 48 hours before shipment to confirm it's stability.

 

And to power your monitors is a Zotac GeForce 9500 GT video card pumping out HD graphics for your demanding gaming needs.

 

 

RAIDMAX Smilodon Extreme Case

 

External Drive Bays: 4 x 5.25"

2 x 3.5"

Internal Drive Bays: 4 x 3.5" HD,

2 x 3.5" Floppy

Expansion Slots: 7 PCI slots

Material: Steel

This case is one of the best cases currently on the market. The SECC steel has a glossy black finish that compliments the custom molded clear side panel and the eye catching neon blue lighting.

 

This case is designed for the best possible air flow by taking advantage of a 120mm intake fan up front which pushes the air to a rear 120mm exhaust fan. That isn't all, an 80mm fan was positioned on the side to provide a constant airflow to cool the hot components on the motherboard. Each fan is a high efficiency, low drag fan, that achieves maximum air flow while keeping the RPM's and sound level low.

 

This solid case was design to last. The solid SECC steel shell protects itself from damage, while keeping your expensive components safe and quiet within. At the front you will find a high quality aluminum front door which rivals the 'plastic' competition. As if all of this wasn't enough, an easy-to-adjust stabilizer bar is built in to secure and protect your high quality video card.

I was playing crysis till it took a {censored} .... i still need help! =(

 

so i got royally {censored}ed ... thanks ... i still need help fixing it {censored} damn it...

[Hagar]

Lets get this straight.. you bought a pc on ebay, which happened to have an unsupported OS on it. Your pc broke, somehow.

 

So what you're really trying to say is: "how do I install os x on this pc?" Welcome to InsanelyMac, you will find the place is full of information on this topic. However, if, as you say, you are computer illiterate, I think your chances of success are fairly slim. My only suggestion is to read and learn, look up your components (posting huge images of them doesn't really help at all) and figure out how to get them to work, or try a different OS.

 

Best of luck

 

P.S. a good place to start is http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=127677
