Hey All! Built my Hackintosh for personal use a while back and thanks to you guys it's working beautifully. I'm now building one for a friend but I need to know; Will Avid provide tech support if you are using their Pci cards in a hackintosh? Their decision to continue with the build is...

What is the stand-alone chimera installer? I did the rest of your suggestion (successful run of multibeast, correct DSDT on Desktop) Also used the correct BIOS version (checked on Mobo BIOS settings, it's f8).

My HDD isn't showing up under devices either... Not sure what happened here..

Well I got everything to install. Fixed the problem... turns out my BIOS was in IDE mode... whoops. :crazy: However, after following the rest of the lion install instructions on the blog, my HDD still isn't bootable. If I pull out the flash drive it tries to launch off the hard drive but...

The disk is still not showing up despite having the HDD in Sata3_0 and optical drive in Sata3_1. Any other ideas? P.S. It's a 1Tb Seagate Barracuda SATA

So new problem... my HDD isn't showing up in disk utility after the language selection screen... any ideas as to what's causing this? Thanks!

Nevermind! I guess the 2nd DVI doesnt work... tried switching and boom, problem solved.

So. Here's what's happening. I have my bootable Lion USB drive. Its in the USB port (2.0) on my build. I boot up the computer, choose USB on Chimera (after selecting USB-HDD after hitting f12). At this point the apple logo comes up, the wheel under it spins (its grey with dashed lines) and then...

Alrighty then. Time to upgrade.... Poopy. More money.

Hey! So I have the Lion Thumb Drive, and have been following the instructions to create the bootable drive. I started up unibeast, followed instructions, and in the installation process it says installing multi-1. It is stuck there displaying "configuring installation." However, I see that...

Hey! I'm about to purchase everything tonight. Wanted to verify 1 or 2 things. When I'm getting the DSDT for this mobo, it asks (on the database) for F1-F6 or so. Which is this one? http://www.amazon.com/Gigabyte-GA-Z68XP ... =de_a_smtd Also, I was thinking about getting the SSD to use as a...

Pro-Tools is a DAW often used for recording/production of music. Not graphic intensive, but it can put a strain on a system if you're dealing with lots of tracks/plug-ins.

OK. So. Graphics card worked out, Mobo worked out. Lastly, the PSU. Will This PSU be enough to handle my build/fit into the Fractal R3 case? Here it is: OCZ ModXStream Pro 600W Modular High Performance Power Supply compatible with Intel Sandy Bridge Core i3 i5 i7 and AMD Phenom...

Another question. If I am looking to get the AMD Radeon HD 6870, does it have to be the AMD 6870 made by gigabyte? I've seen a number of GPU's called AMD 6870 (Radeon etc.) made by a few companies. Trying to save money, but also trying to have a working computer :P
