Table16 Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 I just need some yay or nays on this build... http://secure.newegg.com/WishList/PublicWi...Number=11984328 Also, one I build this and save up a little more money, I'm looking to put a blu-ray drive in it to play blu-ray movies, Does anyone have suggestions on a video card that will be compatible and that will do the job? And if the processor and mobo will be able to to handle HD? Thanks. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/145508-hardware-input/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Synaesthesia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Great selection of hardware The processor and mobo will handle HD alright. Any of the graphics cards in this list will do the job. You can pick from the super low-end (7300GS) to the high-end (Ati 3870, nVidia 9800GT) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/145508-hardware-input/#findComment-1032358 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do any of those cards have an HDMI out or will a DVI-D connection do fine?

Synaesthesia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 Er...I don't think HDMI is so well supported in OS X, I'm really no expert with that though...But DVI-D will work great. BTW you can't watch Blu-Ray in OS X, you have to either rip it first, or use Windows. It's not HDCP compliant.

Synaesthesia Posted January 8, 2009 Share Posted January 8, 2009 The Blu-ray drive still works fine - you can read + write disks in Toast. You just can't watch Blu-ray movies. Sucks. But you can rip them with Anydvd + decrypt them and THEN watch them. But that's too much effort, I would just reboot to Windows.

Table16 Posted January 8, 2009 Author Share Posted January 8, 2009 True, kind of weird that I would have to use windows for something that osx cannot do. Its like a paradox. Thanks again for your help. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/145508-hardware-input/#findComment-1032860 Share on other sites More sharing options...
