hork Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Would like a cheap parts list that I can do iphone development on, with working software updates. I can build a computer, no problem. But when it comes to picking out parts, I lack in that department.

hork Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Sorry, I would like this under $500 dollars, if I could. If you could get me a good base line parts list, that would be great.

EricM Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 As always, I would suggest an i-something but that build will cost you around $550 with an i3... I would highly recommend spedning the little extra so you don't have to get an lga 775 mobo/cpu as its old technology and on the way out. Just foolish to buy now. With that said, I can offer you a full build if you want for about $550, if not, then I can piece together a 775 build. http://i95.photobucket.com/albums/l132/ugotskoold/build.jpg I'm lazy to post links.

hork Posted February 3, 2010 Author Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for the reply, what's the price difference for a 775 build?

Swhay Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Thanks for the reply, what's the price difference for a 775 build? the Core 2 Duo series is on it's way out, however, Apple built a lot of those machines. Everything from a Mac Mini, to the iMac since 2006/2007 so Apple won't be abandoning those users anytime soon. With that said, if your going to spend 400 to 500 and you don't want any update issues, you would be better off, spending the extra cash for a Mac Mini. The resale value on those is incredible, you could turn around and sell it a couple years later for the same price as you bought it. Maybe more if you put more memory and a bigger hard drive in it during the course of using it. I constantly see Mac Mini's being sold for very close to brand new prices on all Mac retail sites and ebay. I have even seen dead ones go for a couple hundred dollars. Think of it as an investment.... Good Luck... See attached....

Frogburn959 Posted February 3, 2010 Share Posted February 3, 2010 Its been my experience that if you go hackintosh, it pure just for hobby and play, if your using it for business applications, getting the real deal is highly recommended unless your an experienced hachintosher and can fix your system crashes on the fly, last think you want is to do an update and create a kernel panic during crunch time of a project Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/209857-need-a-cheap-build-that-i-can-do-iphone-development-on/#findComment-1402930 Share on other sites More sharing options...
