Super Mario Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 lookin for a matx case/mobo, cheap processor with dual core(celeron) and maybe a geforce 7400gs for under 250(i already have an HD) Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76128-hackintosh-for-under-250/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
vbetts Posted December 13, 2007 Share Posted December 13, 2007 The dual core celeron isn't out yet. You need ram, and other things though which might go over $250.

~pcwiz Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Heres an awesome config for just $258: Motherboard: Intel D945GCPE LGA775 MicroATX $58.99 Processor: Intel Celeron 420 Conroe-L 1.6GHz $38.00 Video Card: ASUS EN7600GS SILENT 256MB PCI Express $76.99 RAM: OCZ Value Series 1GB DDR2 667 $18.99 DVD Burner: Sony NEC Optiarc 20x DVD +/- R SATA Black $25.99 Case and PSU: APEX TX-388 Black Steel MicroATX Case + 300W Power Supply $39.99 Total: $258.95 =-=-=-=-=-=-= Thats a 1.6GHz Single Core Celeron, 1GB of RAM, a good performance 7600GS video card, and a decent motherboard plus the case and DVD burner for only $258. I know its a single core Celeron, but as vbetts said the dual core Celerons aren't available yet. This system will be good for the basic tasks and light gaming. I think this config will work. pcwiz Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76128-hackintosh-for-under-250/#findComment-537611 Share on other sites More sharing options...
jabbaranks Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 if you have a microcenter near you.

Alessandro17 Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 lookin for a matx case/mobo, cheap processor with dual core(celeron) and maybe a geforce 7400gs for under 250(i already have an HD) An Italian user has configured a great hackintosh for € 311.53, including a HD for € 50.85: http://forum.insanelymac.com/index.php?showtopic=75942 post #11 So we are not far from your target (just not considering that we are using two different currencies) @~pcwiz In your configuration the CPU is rubbish, the mobo is (very) debatable and there is only 1GB RAM.

~pcwiz Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Nice find Alessandro but 311 euros translates to like $400 or somewhere around there and thats little less than double what the OP wants to spend.

Not really, because we pay €1 what you pay $1 (that is why I have ordered parts from the US many times).

~pcwiz Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 Really? Hmm...thats awesome! $311 for a Core 2 Duo PC is a good price, I recommend spending the extra $60 or so. It will save you in the long run. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76128-hackintosh-for-under-250/#findComment-537778 Share on other sites More sharing options...

~pcwiz Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Oh right! But are these parts available for the same price still? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/76128-hackintosh-for-under-250/#findComment-538540 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alessandro17 Posted December 15, 2007 Share Posted December 15, 2007 Oh right! But are these parts available for the same price still? If anything, prices go down, especially after Christmas.
