Whizguy101 Posted December 7, 2007 Share Posted December 7, 2007 Hey there, I'm really interested in having an OSX86 system, been reading up for awhile but still unsure since I'm no coder - all this Terminal stuff & post-patch stuff is bound to mess up on me. Basically I want to have a Shuttle system, since it's pretty small & you can still have the latest stuff in it. I've been looking at this auction & the specs aren't so bad for the price! http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Shuttle-SB81P-Desktop-PC-System-Unit-only-USED_W0QQitemZ120193227267QQihZ002QQcategoryZ179QQrdZ1QQssPageNameZWD1VQQcmdZVieItem If I get this I'd plan to stick in a 2nd hard disk, likely 500GB, just to beef it up as well as a PCI-E Graphics card, likely 7600GT or 7800, since they're good value now & there's good opinions that'll work. The only issue that's stopping me is how complicated the whole process is, & how much can fail. I read alot about onboard sound & ethernet not working, especially the Broadcom controller that's on that. So basically I need some advice from the guys that know what's best out there, anything you got I sure could use it. Also, a link to THE definitive guide that works well would be nice, since there's so many guides & methods out there. Oh, and I plan to run Leopard in any case, & have it as my main system. Probably going to have Windows XP on Parallels or summat similar; dual-booting seems to be overkill for me. Cheers for reading, appreciate any help you guys can give.
