if you're okay with used, you can get an HD5770 from ebay right around 60 bucks. ( just got one myself for 58 including shipping).

If you plan on going with mgkrp's recommendation but have a microcenter near you, I would suggest you change the mobo out to the z77 version. you'll end up getting a 50 dollar combo discount. Also, I wouldn't just get "any" 500W psu. Speaking from experience, buying a cheap psu can cause you...

I've been anxiously hovering around these boards for a while, learning and hopefully helping on occasion. I tested my ep45-ud3p board successfully using the wonderful guides on here while I eagerly awaited the new gigabyte board and core i3 announcements for my mini htpc build. I am ready...

hm seems like h77 will be a winner at 99 dollars (presumable price on newegg after a couple of weeks). no reason to spend more on a z77 board that does nothing more then overclock, especially when I'm guessing most people will be running a 3225 (or similar) cpu that doesn't OC anyway...

hey sorry just checked back on this thread. just do a quick google search and you'll find plenty of instructions. There's two quick options that I found right now for you. hope they help...

your comments clearly indicate that all you care about primarily is mass storage and not speed since your only examples were boot times and "safari loading lightning quick". For basic web surfing and other common tasks I would say an SSD is probably not worth it (unless of course you dont need...

microcenter is almost always better for motherboards/cpu. everything else I go to newegg because I save on tax and generally get free shipping. I only go to microcenter for other purchases if its an urgent need or if pricing after tax is too close to care for. either way both companies are...

So final cut studio 2 was officially unsupported with OSX LION. However, I was still able to run it on LION after using my snow leopard CD to install Rosetta. anyone know if this little "cheat" is still functional with OSX Mountain Lion? I mean hell its only 20 bucks so I'll probably roll...

Hi guys. Been fiddling around with various computers in my home while i wait for my htpc build. I failed to install SL on my IP35-E abit board (likely because of my gpu - HD3870). Anyway, my current test setup (very similar to the lifehacker build): Gigabyte EP45-UD3P (found DSDT for my board...

aw man, thats what i was worried about. okay thanks for the quick warning. here's to hoping for another shell shocker! :P

GeForce GT 440 (Fermi) 1.5GB 192-bit GDDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card - 631077-001 OEM - OEM this video card is gonna be a newegg shell shocker shortly bundled with 8gb of RAM. I've been waiting on the new gigabyte itx boards to come out before i bite and build. I'm...

so I had to try contacting Gigabyte myself and see what response they give me. In my email to them, I asked for the expected timeframe for when H77/Z77 ITX mobo's would be released. "Dear Customer, The product you describe will be release at the end of July. Thank you for choosing Gigabyte...

Hello, I thought I would chime in because I work in the credit card fraud industry (can't specify what company since i'm posting on a public forum). It's important to understand that ITUNES is a popular business just like many others. We see lots of ITunes fraud on consumer accounts who have...

very neat that you mentioned using a modified case instead of using the original drawer since the exact same thing was presented in another forum as well! I'm considering doing that since it would preserve the original drawer in case things go awry, or if I decide to can the idea in the future...

based on all the feedback here and elsewhere it seems heat may be the biggest issue. I'm building a very simple hackintosh though with no add on cards and only 1 ssd... I think I will be able to manage the heat (i3 2125, onboard graphics, 200w psu, 8gb ram, no plans to add anything else)...

hey so I decided to give this a shot and it didn't work with the HD3870. After OSX install it froze at the initial logon screen. I ran it multiple times while watching the screens and it seemed to freeze at different points, so I couldn't tell if the video card was the culprit. I then...

I have my 50 inch plasma mounted to the wall. underneath I have a wooden desk that has 2 slide out drawers (side by side). Under the slide out drawers are open compartments with glass doors for my AV receiver, blu ray player, cable box etc. I'm thinking about using one of the slide out...

hm, i guess no one has any feedback for the HD3870 and other parts in this setup... Maybe I'll try it anyway and see what happens. If you do think of something please let me know!!

oh interesting, I knew that both were 1155 processors but didnt think that manufacturers would release BIOS updates to make the older sandy bridge mobos compatible with ivy bridge (you know with capitalism, maximizing profits and all that jazz). That is great to hear, thanks for the info!!
