    Big List of Solutions for El Capitan Install Problems

    So it seems that the issue arises whenever I boot into my Windows 7 partition. I'm guessing that Windows installed its own bootloader to the EFI partition, so whenever I try to restart from Windows, it takes priority over the Clover bootloader, so it goes directly into Windows; when I force it...

    Big List of Solutions for El Capitan Install Problems

    Can anyone help me with this? I booted into the Unibeast Installer with no problems, I booted from the Unibeast drive into the El Capitan partition on my HDD, installed Clover and some drivers in Multibeast, and on reboot, I get this screen when I try to boot verbose from my Unibeast drive. If I...

    3.5+ GHz Hackbook?

    Thanks! Your reply is helpful. I'll make sure to read the Clover guide carefully. I've only ever used Chimera (through Multi beast) so I hoped I wouldn't have to learn how to do a new bootloader, but I guess it doesn't hurt to check it out. I'll post back here once I've learned enough to have...

    3.5+ GHz Hackbook?

    Basically, does anyone have an educated guess as to whether a laptop with the following specs would work, assuming BIOS plays nicely? Intel Core i7-4810MQ (Quad Core, Mobile, 2.8GHz/3.8GHz Turbo) GeForce GTX 860M 2x8GB RAM (G.SKILL Ripjaw 204-Pin SO-DIMM DDR3L) 1TB HGST Travelstar 7K 1000...

    3.5+ GHz Hackbook?

    Correction. The i7 4790T is the ultra-low power desktop processor. It is not compatible with the MSI Whitebook above. I filtered through what I thought were 4th Generation Intel Mobile Processors, but it included low-power desktop processors in the search, which obviously sabotaged my results...

    3.5+ GHz Hackbook?

    (READ THE WHOLE THREAD) I've done a little research here and I've yet to come across anything that is a "reasonably powerful" Hackbook in the CPU department (I guess we can quantify that as ~3.5+GHz?). Have any of you come up with anything like this before? So far it looks like I'm going to...

    Mini-ITX (Fixed)

    Motherboard QVL: http://download.gigabyte.us/FileList/Memory/mb_memory_ga-z97n-wifi.pdf GIGABYTE lists CMZ16GX3M2A1600C10 on the QVL for the motherboard, but I've chosen the CML16GX3M2A1600C10. The only difference is the third character: Z on the QVL and L on mine. I've chosen the low-profile...

    Mini-ITX (Fixed)

    Okay, thank you. I figured it would be just as reliable as a single drive (which is what I'm used to), but since it's more corruptible, I'll skip the RAID. Do you happen to see any thing egregiously wrong in the components I've chosen (see post #2)? :?:

    Mini-ITX (Fixed)

    Still waiting for an answer ;) However, new question: is RAID 0 appropriate for a dual-boot machine? I'd put it into four partitions--boot Windows, boot OSX, storage, FCPX storage.

    Looking into getting a GTX 980 TI

    Sorry to hijack this thread a little, but does anyone know if the GeForce GTX 960 is working? The 4GB FTW version is only $250 on amazon right now :)

    Hard Drive Selection

    Boot0 is incredibly easy. Just follow the instructions in the guide and type it into terminal exactly like it says to, and you won't have any problems. Trust me, I use a 2TB Seagate Barracuda and it had the boot0 problem. I didn't know what to do, so I came back to the forums and said, "hey I'm...

    Mini-ITX (Fixed)

    After doing a little more research I decided on the GIGABYTE GA-Z97N-WIFI. I heard the ASRock boards were flakey at best with Chimera (so I would have to use clover), the MSi had very mixed reviews, and the GIGABYTE GA-Z97N Gaming 5 board had very bad reviews, so that just left the GA-Z97N-WIFI...

    Mini-ITX (Fixed)

    Well I had another thread about this but it bugged out and deleted the OP completely... let's try again. I'm looking to sell my old Hack Pro and build a Hack Mini (though an ultra powerful one ;)). --- EDIT: See next post, let me know if the build will work :) (end edit) --- I'd like to base...

    GIGABYTE Brix GB-BXI7G3-760

    I'm looking at selling my old Hack Pro and building a Hack Mini, based off of a Gigabyte Brix GB-BXI7G3-760 (a barebones mini-pc including a discrete GPU). Does anyone know if the following hardware would be compatible with the standard TonyMacx86 installation procedure? If not, is it even...
