Raner243 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 My friend wants to get a new system he doesn't want to build the system. I don't have the time to build the system. I have a mac. He wants to try out OSX on his computer he wants to buy. I want to get a system that is compatible for OSX out of the box. My friend doesn't want to spend to much. He just wants a system for his TV like a media center a.k.a Frontrow not much for use I think. Am new here in this community I guess am a noob. I check out the wiki for compatible hardware He was talking about to get a Emachine the one I recommend that work with OSX is this one ; http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-Details.asp?EdpNo=3169438&sku=E400-T3612 I'm kinda think you he should go with this one ; http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/SearchTools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3208028&CatId=2630 Not bad for this one I prefer a Dual Core system [sSE3]later I think he should upgrade to core2duo. Are these specs compatible with OSX any good. My idea later was to Install leopard on it he wants to try out OSX lastest and greatest what do you think?

Synaesthesia Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 He just wants a system for his TV like a media center a.k.a Frontrow not much for use I think. Go for the first system at half the price. Should work well with OS X. Leopard is work in progress but will probably work eventually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
A Nonny Moose Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 If he wants to save money, steer him to the cheap one. If he really wants the $499 model, then steer him here first to get a legit Mac. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ML23POZ51 Posted October 28, 2007 Share Posted October 28, 2007 That eMahines model for $199 seems like a great deal but, it doesnt look like it comes with a wireless card. Can anyone reccomend a good one to buy for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raner243 Posted October 30, 2007 Author Share Posted October 30, 2007 Hey guys I made up my mind. I have a friend that will build one for him check out out the wish list ; http://img174.imagevenue.com/view.php?image=18157_Budget_wish_list_PC_122_15lo.jpg&i=1 Not Bad. I think it overall bets the Intel Cerlon D. He can always add in a real graphics card in the furture besides the Intel GMA and upgrade the ram. I think is a perfect buy ? Right works out of the box.
