Hi all. I'm building my first HaCkInToSh. Currently running on an iMac, i have an idea of what it will be like. I've tried before with an older computer, but it was an absolute failure. I have an extra Celeron - D lying around and a few other things, but no video card. If anybody could help me find a good motherboard, it would be great. I need it to be on the cheapside, too. (as in, no more than $80.00). If there is one you know of that cost a little over that but is perfect tell me. I AM WILLING TO STRETCH MY BUDGET A BIT. I plan to put Leopard on it, so if anyone has any recommendations please submit it. Any help is appreciated. :D

I'm running Kalyway Leopard 10.5.1 on an Intel D915GUX from an older Gateway. I bought it on Ebay for $40. Got a nice Celeron D 3.06 Gh.

 

Sound worked out of the box, but the on-board LAN didn't. So I stuck in a $10 3Com NIC. USB, firewire all working.

 

I think my total cost for mobo, cpu and fan was < $100.
