Does this system seem like it will work? I tried to use mostly recommended products. Is all well?

 

Thanks in advance for your help!

 

PS. that case's power supply comes with only one SATA power cable. Should I purchase a 4pin to SATA converter because I have a SATA HD and DVD?

I dunno if that FW card will work, but you might want to consider changing that 7600 512mb to a 256mb card, since 512 cards are funky in OSX, when you use the geforce 7 series..maybe upgrade to a 7900gs 256mb? Just a suggestion.

Hey, what do you mean by funky? Will it not work at all? Will there be glitches? JW

 

I already bought the computer so I'm going to give it a go anyways but if it doesn't work i guess I could always do an exchange. It is newegg afterall :P

 

Thanks!

It's not hard, just kinda risky, since if the flash goes bad then your card can be bricked. Just make sure you don't do it on a stormy day or some day where you might lose power. XD

 

Would you mind if I sent you an email for some instructions as to how to do that when the time comes?

 

Everything else looks good other than the firewire card (which im guessing is a toss up)?
