Hi! I'm new here. I'm gonna buy a PC soon, I was thinking something like:

 

Motherboard: Any ASUS microATX P5Q Series Motherboard (G45: P5Q-EM, P5Q-VM G43: P5QL-EM, P5QL-CM),

CPU: E8400 or similar dual core chip,

RAM: Mushkin 1.8V DDR2 800mHz 2x2GB kit (or any similar)

Case: Antec NSK 3480: 80-Plus Case (good silent 80+ power supply included),

GPU: Any video card, as long as its fanless and doesn't heat that much, Gainward GeForce 9500 GT "Silent" seems fine,

DVD Burner: Anyone that will work (any suggestions?),

HDD: A 2,5" hard disc

+ Artic Silver 5 + Ninja 2 CPU Cooler

 

Now I have a few questions:

1) What motherboard should I get? On which one I have the best chances of installing and running OS X Leopard?

2) Will there be any problems or will OS X run like if it was on legit apple hardware? As I understand, all I will have to do is flash the BIOS with this rom, install retail OX X and everything should work.

3) Would anyone change any hardware? Or is the one listed OK?

4) Which DVD should I use for installation (iDenebi, iAtkos or retail OS X DVD)? What abouth the drivers?

5) I have this "High-Speed Mode Wireless G Desktop Network Card" from Belkin at home, will it work? I think it will work (this card worked on Win XP with drivers for a totaly different wireless card from a totaly different company - crazy), what do you think - will it work?

6) Should I buy now or wait, coz Snow Leopard will be released soon.

 

Any help, opinion is more than welcomed! :)
