Danyel Posted April 15, 2007 Share Posted April 15, 2007 Hi Roflcopterr: I was able to construct my custom-built OSx86 last year based on components of OSx86's Hardware Wiki. My main box is MSI mPC 915 with Intel Celeron D 2.8gHz, Intel GMA 915 Graphics, 1.0GB Memory, 80GB IDE Hard Disk and NetGear WG311T Wireless. I bought most of my components from NewEgg.com. Since the MSI mPC 915 is no longer available, I'll suggest one that is similar. ASUS T2-PH2 Intel (LGA775) Barebone = $129.99 Includes: Intel Integrated GMA 950 Graphics (Full CI/QE Support) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16856110063 Intel Celeron D 356 3.3gHz (LGA775) Processor = $65.00 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16819112213 G.SKILL 1GB DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 533 System Memory = $50.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16820231043 Western Digital WD1600BB 160GB ATA100 Hard Drive = $50.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16822144140 LITE-ON Black 16X DVD-R Burner = $30.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16827106019 NETGEAR WG311 Wireless PCI Adapter = $39.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx...N82E16833122119 Sub-Total = $361.95 Taxes (May Vary) = $26.24 Shipping (May Vary) = $23.77 GRAND Total = $411.96 So we can put together rather low-end sub-compact OSx86 PC under $412.00! You can always upgrade Processor, Memory, Hard Drive or other components to suit your needs. But so far this system is faster and has more storage space than the system I bought a year ago! I recommend using Myzar 10.4.6 (because it seems the most compatible) but there are those who got 10.4.8 or even 10.4.9 working great. Good luck! --danyel Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/48465-cheap-sub-500-osx86-pc/#findComment-347229 Share on other sites More sharing options...
