cbushjr56 Posted November 29, 2011 Share Posted November 29, 2011 Have you though about going with a Dell Workstation. The Precision 490, T5400 & T7500 workstations will all run Mac OS X 10.7.2. The nice thing about the Dells is that Foxconn makes the motherboards for both the Dells & the Mac Pros. I put my 490 together for about $500.

dejhati Posted December 3, 2011 Share Posted December 3, 2011 I've put together a build list for a dual processor hackintosh + lion. Part choices were made in consideration of deploying a video production machine that supports an array of software, for example, Avid, CS5.5, VDMX, Modul 8. I'm looking for feedback on the overall build list.

Great! Have you built this system yet? I want to build a similar system with the M/B you listed and I want to know how compatible it is (if it even works with OS X, but seems like it should), and would like to hear about any problems or challenges you have had.
