Best Hardware to Buy


8 posts in this topic

Recommended Posts

I've searched the forums and there's just waaaaay to much info for me to decide on my own. I'm trying to build a pretty decent OSX86 machine spending about $700-800, I have a spare case but might consider getting another one. I was just wondering what hardware would you guys use to build your own box. Any help would be great thanks.

Get yourself an Intel board based on the 915 chipset. I originally purchased a D915GUXL and is 100% compatible.

running a MSI 915g combo board with a p4 2.66 processor, a benq 16x single layer dvd and a eide hdd partitioned into two. everything works flawlessly. cost me 250 without the hdd to get it built, +whatever you wanna spend on a case.

 

i think the msi board takes any 775 processor they have out now.

Ah damn, guess I'll have to wait. I've never really used OSX all that much, but when I tested it on my Sony laptop for a few days I fell in love with it. Had to dump it for XP again though, it didn't support my Wacom tablet all that well. That's why I wanted to build a dedicated OS X beast and run it full time.
