lileau Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 Hallo everybody! I am looking for help putting together all the components needed to set up a hackintosh. I've been a mac user for quite a while now which means I don't really know anything about pc hardware. Why don't I just buy a Mac Pro? Because I believe that 2.500 Euros is insanely expensive and just because I am a Mac user doesn't mean that I am stupid. So I desided to give hackintosh a try and searched the internet for the best hardware components but all the articles I found were out-dated. Therefore I really hope someone here will be able to help me! My question is: I know that I'll need a case, a mainbord, a cpu, ram, a sound card, a graphic card and a dvd-drive. But which ones are the best for a hackintosh? I am not looking for the cheapest solution, I am looking for a really good one AND: is there a way to build a silent-hackintosh (like a silent pc)? Every little advice will be highly appreciated! Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146362-hardware-recommendations/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
asofan Posted January 12, 2009 Share Posted January 12, 2009 do you want a gaming (high end) machine or just a nice cheap one? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/146362-hardware-recommendations/#findComment-1037961 Share on other sites More sharing options...
lileau Posted January 12, 2009 Author Share Posted January 12, 2009 do you want a gaming (high end) machine or just a nice cheap one? I don't play games, I am mostly using it for image processing (Adobe Photoshop), layouting (Adobe Indesign) and film editing (Final Cut and DVD Studio Pro). So although I won't be playing with it, I am looking for high performance. And my computer is always turned on when I am at home so I am looking for a silent solution.
