Vasfed Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 go for a normal mac mini - you'll get much less problems and lot more power Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66721-custom-made-mac-mini/#findComment-473158 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clavit2000 Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 Hi, i would like to build a cheap but working computer too to test OS X (http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=66625). Maybe we can find the best solution together In my post a proposed a posible config, but there are many options..... Maybe i wait for Leopard Hacintosh development, maybe hardware that doesn´t work now with Tiger could be the best for Leopard Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/66721-custom-made-mac-mini/#findComment-473505 Share on other sites More sharing options...

solaar Posted October 17, 2007 Share Posted October 17, 2007 I saw something like SIS chipset... Is that supported for OSX86 at all? I honestly doubt it...
