vlad1966 Posted December 26, 2008 Share Posted December 26, 2008 I recommend Gigabyte mobo - very good OSX86 compatability - like GA-EP45-DS3P - forget AMD CPUs (too slow). Faster vid card - at least 7600GT, but 8800 series minimum is better Samsung F1 HDDs might have reliability issues - see the reviews on NewEgg - I recommend WD Black 1TB (Fast, quiet & RELIABLE). Go with a SATA optical drive - OSX86 is difficult (impossible?) to intall off IDE Logysis power supply? Not familiar with their quality - maybe consider a better brand? Just my $0.10 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/142941-my-1st-clone-bild-help/#findComment-1014700 Share on other sites More sharing options...
