Dalton63841 Posted July 9, 2009 Share Posted July 9, 2009 Okay Im about to build a hackintosh. I've been searching the forums and everything I've chosen seems to be a good fit. I intend to install retail Leo 10.5.6, and then update it to 10.5.7. Also, I would like to install Snow leopard when its out final. Here are the specs I've chosen, is there anything that may cause a snag or otherwise make the build difficult. I hope for everything to work. Is there anything extra I will need to make it work? Asus P6T Motherboard Intel Core i7 920 Processor XFX GeForce 9800 GTX + Video Card OCZ Gold Tri Channel 12GB PC10666 DDR3 Memory Kingwin Mach 1 Modular 600 Watt Power Supply Western Digital Caviar Green WD10EADS 1TB Hard Drive LG GH22LS40 DVD Writer Thermaltake VI1000BWS M9 ATX Mid-Tower Case Also, I intend to buy a new Apple Wireless keyboard and Mighty Mouse. Does the keyboard have illuminated keys? Or does apple make one with illuminated keys?

MGJulius Posted July 10, 2009 Share Posted July 10, 2009 Hey, I'll try to answer all the questions I can. 1) Looking around on the forum, more people got better success on the P6T Deluxe rather than the P6T, but it can probably be done. Everything else will work fine w/ the appropriate drivers. 2) 12GB is a sh*t ton amount of memory, but your money. Spend it how you like to. 3) Apple does not make an external keyboard w/ illuminated keys, those are only available on their notebooks. 4) I personally like the apple keyboards, their style makes for fast typing. However, I'm not a friend of the Mighty Mouse, doesn't work well for me. Hopes this helps, MGJulius Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/174171-mac-pro-build/#findComment-1196951 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dalton63841 Posted July 10, 2009 Author Share Posted July 10, 2009 basically I need a motherboard that I can use with a retail dvd, and have everything working. Also having 6 ram slots and being SLI capable are important to me. Any better motherboards for the hardware I described? Also, the ram I found was gong to be about $160 for 12GB of DDR3, which I didn't think was that bad. Basically I don't wanna have to upgrade for a WHILE.
