mbzlr13 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 What would you cut or change from this list to make it a little cheaper.

Nick14 Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Gigabyte GA-EP45-UD3P - $134.99 - I can't say enough good things about this board. Retail vanilla install works perfectly on it, overclocks like crazy and has a ton of connectors/ports and good growth potential. Its not I7, but probably one of the best socket 775 boards available. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16813128358 PNY Nvidia 9500GT video card - $69.99 - Works great with OS X after installing the Nvidia 9xxx series video drivers and adding the EFI strings for it. Good middle of the road 3d video performance so that you can still play video games and have great 2d acceleration. Both CI and QE work perfectly. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16814133230 Intel e5200 2.5 GHz Pentium Dual core CPU - $72.99 - My oh my what a badass little cpu for not a lot of cash. Don't let its "Pentium Dual core" name fool you. Its a Core 2 cpu with a little less cache than its brothers. Out of the box its fast and cool and overclocks like crazy with my motherboard recommendation. Is solid for 3 GHz on the stock cooler and upwards to between 3.5 to 4 GHz on a better aftermarket cooler. Its the current price to performance leader in Intel's Core 2 lineup of cpus. Plus the fact its insanely overclockable is just icing on the cake. Its a junior version of the Core2 Duo e8400. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819116072 OCZ 4 GB DDR2 1066 ram - 47.99 - Great ram that has integrated heat spreaders to run cool. Since its a pair of 2 gigabyte dimms, it leaves you 2 slots open in case down the road you want to add another 4 gigs to the machine. I run 8 gigs of this same memory in my machine so I know its works perfectly with my hardware recommendations. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820227362 500 GB Western Digital SATA Hard drive - $64.99 - Plenty of space and pretty cheap too. SATA interface so there won't be any OS X issues. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822136073 Samsung 22x DVDRW drive - $24.99 - Works perfectly and has a SATA interface. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827151171 Antec NSK4480B ATX case with 380 watt PSU - $74.99 - Plenty of room and includes a great power supply. Should run quiet and cool. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16811129032 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/153991-setup-for-recording/#findComment-1086467 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mbzlr13 Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 This setup and price could definitely work for me. Would it be hard to get wireless internet?
