Wman Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 So I have the following setup: GA-EP35-DS3L Intel Q660 G0 CPU @ 2.4GHZ (never overclocked) 4Gb RAM DDR2 1000GB HDD @ 720RPM (SATA) DVD-RW drive @ 16x? (SATA) Nvida GEforce 8600 with 256MB VRAM Lian-Li PC V1000 +|| case (super high end aluminum case) Right now, its running Windows XP Pro SP#, as I haven't gotten around to installing OSX86 yet. I have also attached dxdiag.txt, to show all that stuff (it says it only has 3.5GB RAM, because that's all this version of windows can address, but there are two 2GB modules installed) I will attach pictures, when i have time to take a few. I'm thinking of selling it, because I don't really have the time to deal with OSX86 as my primary computer and I'm thinking of buying the new MBP 15" and/or the new iMac 24" So i just wanna know how you'd assess the price of this as a relatively powerful machine, easily capable of running Mac OSX (this is one of the best motherboards for it, afaik), also with a really nice case (it cost me like 300$, and they don't sell them anymore) and I'd also accept offers on the thread or via PM/email, if anyone is interested. P.S.: I may also be selling a powerbook G4 15" aluminum with 1GB RAM, 1.5GHZ PPC G4 CPU, 80GB HDD, and a fancy green glowing apple on the back. I've also recently replaced all the screen casing on it as well as the screen itself, fixed the wifi, but it's missing a few screws. Other than that, its in good condition. -If interested PM/Post/email -thx -wman Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/172191-ready-hackintosh-possible-for-sale/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
jricks92 Posted June 25, 2009 Share Posted June 25, 2009 i'd price your hackintosh at around $850-$950. i'm not looking to buy because mine is almost the exact same system (except my mobo is asus). i bought all the parts for mine a year ago for about $1200. if i someone has the money, it will be well worth your buck. especially with all the new vanilla install methods (Extra folder). It allows updates straight from Apple with little to no problem!

Wman Posted June 25, 2009 Author Share Posted June 25, 2009 The parts for this machine cost me a bit more than that, but I'd say that;s a fair estimate. But I bought them online. Sometimes on ebay (new, in package, though), so that saved some of the original cost. I'm hoping for a bit more than that but accepting any offers, maybe even trades. -Anyone else interested? PS: I may still consider using this as my primary machine if I can get a very good, stable install going, and the ability to run OSX.6. If you have any advice about running Mac OSX on this machine, please PM me. And I am going to get pictures, but I still have to buy batteries for my camera and I am quite busy. -thx Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/172191-ready-hackintosh-possible-for-sale/#findComment-1185463 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wman Posted June 26, 2009 Author Share Posted June 26, 2009 here are some pictures of the machine. I'll upload better pictures to show all the hardware later. And I'll take out that terrible ATA cable. EDIT: http://lian-li.com/v2/en/product/product06...amp;ss_index=96 this is the case, fyi.

Wman Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 This now has a perfect running version of mac OS 10.5.7 on it. I haven't done a retail install yet, but it's running perfectly off the old hard drive from my powermac G4.At first it had modem issues, graphics issues (no quartz extreme, only 32mb VRAM detected) and no built in audio. Now everything is working well except built in audio (but I have a USB soundcard). I may still be selling this depending on what kind of install I can get with snow leopard.

bonestonne Posted July 6, 2009 Share Posted July 6, 2009 what's the screen resolution of the Powerbook G4? hopefully larger than 1024x768? it's something i'm willing to give offers on, but given the age, and technology under the hood, it'll take some talks.

bonestonne Posted July 11, 2009 Share Posted July 11, 2009 well...i know that Powerbook looks nice and all, has the modified apple, and new plastics, but that price is a bit high...i feel like i could get a used MacBook for that kind of price, with more performance to boot. 600CAD comes out to nearly 520USD, and that's a lot more than i'm looking to pay, considering the two laptops i have came from the local dump, and i have put marginal amounts of money into them, being RAM, wifi card, new bezel here and there, or even a new motherboard inside, combined the two laptops i have didn't cost me more than $150 between the two to have running well. for a new laptop for college i was thinking more like $150-200 for something used...and with the Powerbook being PPC based, that asking price is basically ridiculous....but if you find a buyer, good for you.
