mohoyt Posted July 16, 2006 Share Posted July 16, 2006 Hey all I'm a seasoned mac user and have been using Mac's forever. However my friends are still not convinced that they're the best thing around. So to prove it to them I want to build a OSX86 comp that can run OSX well but costs very little to build... I just want to know if there are any recommended parts that people suggest for making a really cheap OSX86 box. Motherboard: I know that MBs with built in Intel chipsets are best, preferrably the GMA950 but i heard the GMA 900 series works well too. Any ideas? Processor: Intel's the best for this, so I probably try to find a Pentium 4 or a Celeron D with SSE3 support I can probably find other parts quite easily on eBay and places like that... I'm trying to get all of these things as cheap as possible, so I don't mind getting used parts or from eBay etc. Anyone have good recommendations for good working parts that preferably need minimal patching?
