2013/2014 Haswell Hackintosh (10.9 Mavericks)
This was not only my first Hackintosh build, but also my first computer build as well! I was so please with this project. If you are thinking about doing a hackintosh build in about the $1200 dollar range, buy these exact parts! I did this entire build in under 4 hours. The installation was so basic and simple. There was no problems. I did, however, run into a "boot0" error that was very simply fixed with this guide http://www.tonymacx86.com/25-boot0-error-official-guide.html That was the only "problem" that I ran into with this build.
Here is the parts list:
- Processor: Intel Core i7-4770K Quad-Core Desktop Processor 3.5 GHZ 8 MB Cache BX80646I74770K

- Storage: Seagate Barracuda 1 TB HDD SATA 6 Gb/s NCQ 64MB Cache 3.5-Inch Internal Bare Drive (I will later upgrade to an SSD)
- Case: Corsair Carbide 500R ATX- White with blue LED's (LED's are built in and work for this motherboard
- Wifi Card: TP-LINK TL-WDN4800 Dual Band Wireless N900 PCI Express Adapte
- Firewire Card: Syba Low Profile PCI-Express 1394b/1394 (Yes, I know Firewire is outdated, but I need it for my audio interface for audio production.)
