rparker Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 Well, after much help from insanelymac user sg, I've compiled a list for my osx box. https://secure.newegg.com/NewVersion/Wishli...=Computer+Parts Check it out there or, here is a rough overview: Core 2 duo e6600 Asus p5w dh CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800 (PC2 6400) Dual Channel Kit Seagate sata 2 Barracuda 7200rpm 250gb Coolermaster Centurion 5 case I'm still looking for a psu, a video card (probably 7600gs), cooling stuff. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
asap18 Posted December 2, 2006 Share Posted December 2, 2006 i take it this is gonna be a windows only machine or are you going to dual boot osx and mediacenter. I dont know bout the mobo since it seems overkill if you went osx since bluetooth/wifi wouldnt work. Maybe a 975XBX2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rparker Posted December 2, 2006 Author Share Posted December 2, 2006 Only reason for the motherboard is that everything is almost supported out of the box. Both lan ports, audio, usb, firewire, ide and sata drives. With bad axe, sound is only partially supported (no input) and firewire is unsupported. As for overkill for a plain osx box, well, I was meaning to purchase a computer for video editing and such, and I'm trying to integrate the playing with osx bit into the original need.
