guiyoforward Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 Hi there, I know all the information is available through search on HCL and the forums. But I think it would greatly help the comminity, its growth and the newbies if we could set up a "wish list" or shopping cart in newegg or similar outlets for a machine that works out of the box (or almost out of the box) with OS X. The idea would be selecting a motherboard (or even better, if one works, a barebones), a hadr drive, memory, optical drive and processor, with some variations according to budget available. Is this a good idea? I think it would promote osx86 adoption... Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/25089-os-x-tiger-ready-seal/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
amdprophet Posted August 18, 2006 Share Posted August 18, 2006 The company my friends and I started a while back, Aelatis Technology Inc., will be selling "OSx86 Ready" machines. They will have all the hardware necessary to run Mac OS X with the best performance for price the buyer will pay. We're still working out a few issues, but they should be available by the end of 2006. We're also in the beginning stages of working out a give-away which will be exlusive to the InsanelyMac community.

amdprophet Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 Our website is currently under construction, http://www.aelatis.com. We are a registered Canadian company, but we may also have outlets in the United States. We're not 100% guaranteed on shipping to other countries, but I believe we will be able to do that.

koolaidman23 Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I like your idea. May I assume the $500 price for the basic setup is in Canadian Dollars?

guiyoforward Posted August 19, 2006 Author Share Posted August 19, 2006 great! I thought about the shopping cart because I'm not sure you won't get sued. unless you are VERY discreet about the way you do your marketing. please let us know best g.

zedzed Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 I like this idea as well. The HCL is so confusing to me since different people report things differently. Then there are differences for the different versions of OSX. I just bought an Intel D915PBL mobo with a P4 3.4CPU and now I need to know what the best video card is to get. Maybe some sort of a "Recommended" logo would be nice.

amdprophet Posted August 19, 2006 Share Posted August 19, 2006 There will be a few different "OSx86 Ready" machines. They will most likely range from $400 - $2,500 Canadian. Zedzed, the ATi x1600 series of video cards seem to be working well with OS X x86 according to some posts on these forums.
