Yea. I have one at home that works flawlessly when I do use it... but that's not often. It's mainly just a file server at this point... When I was using a Hackintosh full time as my personal computer, I was always bumping into little issues here and there. Sleep/wake and bluetooth were most...

That's what the clone drive was for. My thought was clone the drive right after initial setup. Then if it begins acting up I could plug that in and work with that (all files will be in tact on storage drive anyway) Then I'd have to fix it some other time. I don't know... obviously buying a...

Thanks. I've been torn between a new Mac Pro, a used 2010 6 core Mac Pro, and building a Hackintosh. It's a tough decision... my employer will be paying for it, but I'd hate to have them spend $3500 bucks on a new Mac Pro if I can build a damn good one for ~$1400... Anyone else have any...

Our company is finally going to produce some videos, and I need a good computer for editing. I've dealt with Hackintoshes or Customacs before, and for the most part they've been reliable. But since this would be my primary machine at work, I need some ideas to ensure downtime will be minimal...

I have the same board- can you tell me exactly what you checked in MultiBeast (and also what version MultiBeast you used) I've had to reinstall a couple times already and can't get this stupid thing working! Any help appreciated... bout to re-install the OS yet one more time... Thanks!

Did my post get moved? Not sure why it's in updates... has nothing to do with updates. In any case... bump? No love for sleep issues?

Ok, I'll combine two issues... because they kind of happened together but could be completely separate. My computer sleeps when I tell it to. It wakes when I tell it to. But if it wakes up on its own... it doesn't "wake up". The fans are running, but nothing works. Here's a typical...

Ok... literally a few seconds after I submitted that post it started moving. Now we're up to 68gb transferred. It's picked back up and moving pretty quick. Now I'm concerned of data corruption on the original drive... is this a valid concern? And if so- is there a good utility to check disks...

I just bought a new 2TB WD Passport, USB 3.0. I tested a few folders and the speed is great compared to 2.0. Ok, moving along. Started a time machine backup, all is going well. Looks like it should be done in about 30-40 minutes. It gets stuck at 64.72 of 223gb and comes to a craaaawl. It...

Will running this dongle via USB 3.0 damage the dongle? Reason I ask is because I've been using it for a few weeks with no problem. Then suddenly today, woke my computer up, then it just stopped working right then and there. Tried it on another PC- it wouldn't work at all. Could it have...

Has anyone figured out how to control the backlight of a non cinema-display with a Mac keyboard? No, I'm not talking about Shades and Brightness Slider or any other those simulators. I mean real backlight control, like on cinema displays, Macbooks, and iMacs... This has to be possible...

I'd imagine there is a way to disable it from being loaded / used within the chameleon.plist file... I don't know how, but that may be the key.

Thanks. Should a 500W PSU be sufficient? 1-2 HDD tops, 1SSD, 2 DDR3 sticks, corei7 3770k, optical drive. Mouse keyboard... and that board? Calculator online says only need like 350 for all that but wasn't sure how accurate that was.

Long story short- 2nd hackintosh build. First is flawless on every count, including sleep / wake. It'll wake on network access. I can be outside of my LAN, try to stream a movie to an ipad while the computer is asleep, it'll wake up and work! That being said- I want that same functionality in...
