QUOTE(Bad Cyborg @ Aug 1 2013, 03:32 PM) Read this thread. i know what you mean by some people following tonymac like a cult http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/280...an-steal-again/ You're welcome to try TonyMac. Just don't treat it like a religion. There are many OS X distros out there that make life easier. Just try them all out and pick the one that fits you. i actually follow cpukid's way as it was step-by-step with youtube video's QUOTE(bluehaven @ Aug 2 2013, 03:22 AM) yes you are correct. gigabyte is in fact their supplier. what interest me is the out-of-the-box experience..which reduces the hardware mismatch when you install osx. been putting off to build up a hackintosh due to this very reason..something easy like plug n play..it just works.. yeah i know sometimes after you do a few hours of research on the hardware and software needed for the build, you just go.....![]() |

QUOTE(wiraone @ Aug 14 2013, 02:41 PM) Nice, imac was my first real Mac I had, mine was the original bondi blue. Are you going to replace the CRT tube with TFT instead? Not much space if you're trying to use the tube. ![]() yeah, would be ashame to have lion on an uncrisp crt display it looks straight forward when i see this schematic but you all know its going to be b*tch when you actually do it |

QUOTE(hasif63 @ Dec 7 2014, 05:33 PM) the guideQUOTE(babyk @ Dec 7 2014, 08:09 PM) The cost depends on your budget, lowest around RM1300 power draw from nuc how much?With the Apple WiFi and Bluetooth, you can connect Apple Keyboard and Trackpad without issues, and WiFi works as normal as well. Reliability? It should be good coz I'm running 24/7 for torrent and it is as good as Mac Mini My specs are as below: Intel Core i3 1.7GHz Haswell 32GB mSATA 1TB Seagate SSHD 16GB 1600MHz DDR3 RAM Apple WiFi and Bluetooth HDMI to my Home Theater set |
