OSX86 Parts

Here is a list of parts ill be using to make this build happen,
  1. Gigabyte GA-G31M-ES2L Rev 2.0 (note that if you can get the Rev 1.0 board do so, as they have change the Network Card on Rev 2.0 and at the moment, there is no support for it.)
  2. Intel E5200 @ 3.20Ghz with Coolermaster V8 CPU Cooler ( note with the CPU Cooler, i went with this cause im lookin @ overclock this type of CPU, some reports say you can get upto 4.0Ghz. )
  3. 2.0Gigs DDR2 667 (note that the more the better, at the moment this will do)
  4. Nvidia 7600GS 512MB (note that this should be a 9400GT min, but at the moment this would work also)
  5. Realtek RTL8139 PCI Network Card ( note the drivers are on IATKOSv7 disk )
  6. 80.0Gig SATAII Hard Drive
  7. DVDRW SATA
  8. Coolermaster 650Watt PSU ( note you dont need to much power on a PSU, but i have it laying around... 400-450watt would be a min )
  9. Antec Three Hundred Black Case
Well there are my parts, ill be using IATKOSv7 for the install disk, which i think has OSX 10.5.7 on it. Ive tryed to keep the Hardware as cheep as possible.

Hello there, im here to post up my results installing OSX86 on to a Sub-Cheap Computer. My budget in the not the biggest, My goal is to have a working copy of OSX, and to show what i did to get this working. I'll be starting off using IATKOSv7 as the installer. I dont have any torrents here for you but a simple google search will find it for you. So please feel free to ask any questions and ill see what i can do. Im trying to keep this simple as, and will be using basic very easy to use words.
