NoSmokingBandit Posted May 10, 2009 Share Posted May 10, 2009 Specs: Q9300 2.5ghz Core2Quad 4gb ddr2 ati 3870 512mb (no stickers on it, dont know the actual manufacturer) DVD-RW SATA Drive 500gb 7200rpm SATA drive Bluetooth 19in1 card reader Firewire400 (x2), usb2.0 (x8), eSata (x1) D-Link DFE-530TX+ PCI ethernet card Updates like a real mac, runs vanilla everything. I'll install iPC on it and update everything for you. I can also dual-boot vista home premium or windows 7, just let me know what you want. Everything works great with iPC, and i'll type up a guide so you know what packages to install if you ever format/reinstall or anything. Onboard audio doesnt work (degrades to static in about 24hrs), but i have a usb dongle i'll include which works perfectly with Leo. Onboard ethernet doesnt work (craps out after sleep and i can never get sleepwatcher to work right), but i put a linksys 100tx card in that works great with Tulip. Windows runs great on it. I've played Crysis on high/highest settings and got about 35-40fps at 1440x900. You can max out Mirror's Edge and COD4/5 on it too. Theres a case LCD that shows vista's gadgets like weather, cpu/ram usage, and all sort of cool stuff. The LCD doesnt do anything cool in osx, just solitaire. All the hardware works ootb with vista/7 and is rather speedy. Still under warranty until September, so you can be assured there are no problems with this tower. I'll include an install guide (for iPC, though im sure it cant be hard to figure out with other discs). Everything you need is on the iPC disc, so its really easy to set up. Make me an offer, im not using this and i'd rather have someone use it than have it sit under my desk.
