sam-wilson Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 Hi there, I am looking to build a mac as i am a filmmaker and my Macbook cannot handle it. i am looking to build a high end mac that can work with final cut pro software. This will be a first time build and i was looking to use a mac motherboard and use EFI instead of BIOS. i am on a budget of around £500. Thanks Sam :censored2: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gringo Vermelho Posted April 23, 2011 Share Posted April 23, 2011 You want to build a *real* Mac Pro from parts? That will probably cost you more than a retail Mac Pro. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted April 24, 2011 Share Posted April 24, 2011 i am on a budget of around £500. Hardly enough to buy hardware for a semi-decent hackintosh. Perhaps you could buy hardware similar to mine (see my sig), if you can still find it. Quite fast and compatible, BTW. Edit. £500 is about $820. If you can order your parts from the USA, you could build this: http://lifehacker.com/#!5672051/how-to...ight-easy-steps Edit 2. You could also buy second hand, if you can spare some extra cash: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Apple-MacPro-2-x-2Gh...=item1e6307bbf7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
