Raner243 Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 You guys saw this post. http://digg.com/apple/Build_a_Mac_for_350 Not Bad. I like to build in maybe in march a Compact Pc hacked to run OSX86 and not break the bank and have some performance. A Replacement for my MacMini PPC. Shuttle PC Barebones Kit $179. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16856101059 Graphics Intel 950 GMA. Intel Core2Duo 2.20GHz $119 http://www.tigerdirect.com/applications/searchtools/item-details.asp?EdpNo=3274224&Sku=CP2-DUO- E4500&SRCCODE=GOOGLEBASE&CMP=OTC- 2x Each Kingston 1GB Memory $21 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820144183 Rosewill 802.11 B/G Wireless Card $15 ( I don't really need it connect via ethernet I just hope it works with OSX) http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx? Item=N82E16833166012&Tpk=Rosewill%2b802.11b%252fg%2bPCI%2bWireless%2b2bCard Seagate 250GB Hard Drive $66.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16822148261 LG Black DVD Burner $27.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16827136117 The Barebones PC from ShuttlePC comes with a 250 Watt Power Supply is that enough power for the Core2Duo and a PCI Express Graphics Card. Somone told me that they computer fried becuase that had a low power supply and recomend that I put in a 350 watt or 400 watt Do I have to worry about that ? The only reason why I like this Barebones kit is that I can put a Graphics Card in it. The Graphic card I want to put in is this http://www.amazon.com/XFX-PVT84GUDD3-GeForce-8600GTS-Express/dp/B000P9TO76/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1202074773&sr=8-1 Price $149 GeForce 8600GTS Direct X 10 ready. So the total will be around $581 including the graphics card. I hope that of I set this all up when I do buy these things everything works out of the box like the sound, firewire, etc. Software won't be a problem to get. Ilife, iwork etc. So what do you guys think ? For Leopard I'll use EFI Patch Vanilla Kernel I'll use this tutorial http://www.digitmemo.com/articles/734/howto-install-efi-patch-and-enable-vanilla-os-x-kernel-in-hackintosh/ Use this PC to Dual Boot between Windows XP and OSX86. This is pretty cool for it Keyspan Rf Remote Front Row $29.94 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000FBK3RE Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/85610-what-do-you-think-of-this-as-my-osx-pc-build/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
~pcwiz Posted February 3, 2008 Share Posted February 3, 2008 I'm not sure about the wireless but everything else seems good to go!
