La Pistola Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Ok, so I am thinking about building an OSX86 box. I want to spend around $200 to $300 I Mainly just want it to be fast enough to be part of a 3 machine render farm, and be able to run front row. What do you guys think I should get?

Guest bikedude880 Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 No way you can do it for $200-300. Try about $600-800 for a decent system. For that price you might as well get a Mac Mini.

frizbot Posted March 7, 2007 Share Posted March 7, 2007 The SATA on that board has rocky OSX86 support. A driver is being written, but it may be less reliable. SLI won't work with OSX86 I'm told. I know little about that because I dislike SLI. A Mac Mini would be best for you maybe. An OSX86 PC won't be supported, but it will have many more features and can be custom built for about the same price.
