Building a New Shuttle Hackintosh (Which should I get )

[akhan1976]

Hello Everyone I thinking of building a new hackintosh using Shuttle SG33G5M Deluxe or the Shuttle SP35P2 Pro

 

The Specs for this Shuttle SG33G5M Deluxe box are: http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/sg33...eluxe_spec.html

 

This chipset for this Shuttle SP35P2 box are: http://us.shuttle.com/barebone/Models/sp35p2_pro.html

 

I was wondering which one of these be a better fit for a hackintosh box

 

 

I know people have built hackintosh using the Shuttle SD30G2B, SD39P2

mmm, the P35 chipset means it should work. Just look at how other people have installed with that specific chipset...otherwise there are (older) 945 and 975 based shuttles that should work perfectly like your bad-axe. In fact even the G33 one should work.

Thanks Synaesthesia for the help I will try will P33 chipset and see how it goes

The SP35P2 is probably the easiest of all shuttles to support for MacOS as it has no on-board video.

 

An eVGA 7200GS or 8400GS is what I always use for video.

 

Install Boot132 using the UInstaller application, calling it a GA-P35-DS3L Ver. 1.0.

 

The Marvell gigabit E-net can be supported with an obvious hack, or a RTL8169 PCI card may be used.

 

The 8169 is supported out of the box. The on-motherboard Firewire ports are supported OOTB.
