JellyUK Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Right, just to start, i'm not a complete novice with hackintoshing. I've done a fileserver (using an old kalyway method about 2 years ago) and a dell mini10v (using a retail method, using netbook installer). Both are still working fine, but i'm getting bored of my slow macbook pro and want to build a nice desktop machine. It will be used as a general workhorse, media player and ripper/converter, gaming machine (planning on putting windows on it as well) and i'd like something really reliable. I'm thinking about these parts - Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD5 motherboard Intel 930 i7 CPU OCZ Gold 6GB (3x2GB) DDR3 PC3-10666C9 Low-Voltage Triple Channel RAM Either an ASUS Ati 7650 gx2 (if that is possible to use) or i'll buy a different graphics, card not sure what yet though... The main reason for using this graphics card is that i already have it around, so it saves a bit of money. Then a power supply, case, dvd drive, hdd etc. Can anyone comment on my hardware setup? And on what method might be the easiest to use? I've done a bit of research, but i'd love some comments in case i've missed anything. Any comments would be greatly appreciated!!

bdemaa Posted August 11, 2010 Share Posted August 11, 2010 I'm not sure what the deal is with the new user forum. I posted an equipment list i was looking for input on as well and haven't had any feedback yet. Maybe the new users lounge is for the {censored} step children?! Lol I've got some similar items I've collected in my research. Take a look at my list a few posts down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's just the huge number of noobs swamping for the forums, still hoping that someone can take a look at the rig I've had a quick look at your list, it is very similar, hopefully someone will answer one of us, will give us an answer for both...
