Gears of Apple Posted November 21, 2011 Share Posted November 21, 2011 I have been looking into a Hackintosh. Found my hardware; Build ---------------------------------- Corsair Special Edition White 600T Graphite Series Case – http://www.ebuyer.com/259401-corsair-sp ... 600twm-wht Intel Sandybridge i7-2600K Unlocked Core i7 Quad-Core Processor (3.40GHz, 8MB Cache, Socket 1155) http://www.amazon.co.uk/Intel-Sandybrid ...

The main plan is to have Mac OS - Home Theatre (Plex/iTunes Hub-Media/eyetv), some video editing and general Mac stuff. Windows - Just mostly gaming E.g., Battlefield 3, Fallout, etc. Powerful Hackintosh must be worth it yer?

xx66stangxx Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 Looks like a good build, just make sure your video card will be supported. I didn't notice a Motherboard? ASUS P8P67 Pro Rev. 3.1 I have this motherboard and everything works natively. There are plenty of intel based motherboards that work fine with osx86. So just do some research and obtain a legal copy of Lion and plunge in. Regardless of having a hackintosh or not, your build will be a great computer. Only thing I suggest is upgrade your RAM to 8 GB.
