    Cheapest option with working wifi and bluetooth

    I'm looking for a quick-and-dirty solution for a computer for our exercise room. The most it'll ever need to do is run Zwift, which yes, is game-like and graphics and stuff, but as games go it's pretty lightweight. It's going to be plugged into the cheapest 1080p monitor I can find; I'm not...

    Time to replace my Probook 4540s

    I've had a hackintosh 4540s for several years now, through three OS upgrades, and it's served me well. But the battery is giving me problems, and it's starting to seem slow with what I'm doing with it. I also wouldn't mind having a bit higher resolution, though with my old eyes I don't need...

    Sharing settings won't stick

    I'm not sure if this is a hackintosh-specific problem or some other more general Mojave bug weirdness. But I keep turning on my remote login and screen sharing settings, and they work, but they disappear after every reboot. Has anyone seen anything like this? I've seen a handful of people...

    << Solved >> Can't boot at all, including form Mojave USB on Probook 4340s

    This is an older system than my profile system. It's a previously working (with Yosemite, and more recently High Sierra) HP ProBook 4540s - i7-3632QM - HD 4000 + HD 7650M, which I've somehow made a mess of (stopped booting HS, and stopped booting from the HS thumbdrive that I had used...

    MSI Optix MAG341CQ Ultrawide at Microcenter for $350 after rebate (plus free gaming chair!)

    The cheapest price I've seen for an Ultrawide monitors at 3440x1440 resolution. It's a VA panel in a bare bones package. No speakers, no height adjustment, no joystick for menus, no USB, not a lot of fancy settings for color calibration, not the most robust build quality. So it's not...

    What hardware would you wish for?

    I wish there was a 38" 3440x1440 gaming monitor. This may sound crazy, but the 34" ultrawide monitors actually look small to me. The 38" size looks perfect for me but they're generally 3840x1600, and that's a lot of pixels to drive even with a high-end graphics card. And for my old eyes, 110...

    The great CPU paste method debate

    I was looking at videos about methods of cpu paste, when I came across one of those videos that use glass or plastic plates, and they managed to do this: The video this came form is here, around the 2:00 minute mark: If you watch the video, they're using the "spread it like peanut butter"...

    Which Z390 motherboard for seamless WiFi/Bluetooth, and two NVMe SSD drives?

    Hi, I need help choosing the perfect motherboard (heh). I want to build the most powerful hackintosh I can right now without going crazy. I want it to last me several years, and I want it to be the easiest hackintoshing possible. I've been leaning towards an i9-9900k with the Designare...

    Why Wi-Fi?

    Hi, I notice a number of builds, including golden builds, explicitly reference wifi versions of motherboards, but as afar as I can tell no motherboards have native working wifi/bluetooth, and it has to be added as a separate card. Is there a particularly reason why wifi version of mobos are...

    Does New Mac Pro / Catalina impact near-future builds?

    Hi, Is the new Mac Pro (and the new os support that comes with it) likely to impact hackintosh builds in the near future? Or is the new Mac Pro so custom and weird that we won't be able to use this new OS support with any new off-the-shelf parts? For the purposes of discussion, lets assume...

    Is this a good or bad time to build a Hack Pro?

    I've been thinking about building a desktop with all the power I can put into it for something in the $1000-$1200 range, and it looks pretty feasible to build a strong system at that price, perhaps even with minimal overclocking (especially if I take advantage of the clearance rack at a certain...

    4540s won't stay asleep

    Hi, I just recently completed a clover install of Yosemite on my 4540s. Everything seems to work except sleep. For short periods, sleep works fine. But for longer sleeps, it eventually wakes up on its own, and then stays awake. When this happens, I see this in the pmset log: 2015-01-15...

    Is 4540s still the easiest?

    I thought I was going to buy a refurbished 4540s (i5-3230M 2.6GHz with 8G/750G@7200rpm) for $500, but it looks like it's gone. As an alternative, the same place is selling the 450 G1 (i5-4200M 2.5GHz 8G/750G@5400rpm) for $600. So the small question is, how much harder is the 450, and will it...
