This is regarding the custoMac I built a few years ago. My wife never used it much but my older son did had some good times on it. He has now taken over my i7-2600K gaming rig and the custoMac is now passing on to my younger son :) I decided to upgrade it to El Capitan today and followed the...

I had a fairly basic question about Multibeast using the DSDT downloaded from tonymac's repository. If I rerun multi-beast to install some new kexts, do I need to select the UserDSDT method and put the DSDT .aml file on the desktop everytime? Or Can I just select the options I want and let...

I was wondering if there was a way to create a dual boot system (single boot drive), and have a choice to boot to Windows at power-up, without booting to iBoot in the CD-Drive? Right now the way it is setup, it boots to Lion by default. Booting to Windows requires a boot to iBoot using the...

Over the long weekend I finally got my hands dirty with making the CustoMac. After struggling with Snow Leopard and HD3000, I have been able to get dual boot systems to run using Lion 10.7.2 with the LionUSB on the following: 1. GA-Z68MA-D2H-B3 with i5 2500K and HD3000 using DSDT method...

First of all, this site and the people who run are great; please acknowledge their efforts. You can use the Newegg/Amazon links to buy anything, not just computer parts. They deserve it for the effort you put in. Whenever I remember I try to use the links here to buy stuff. I must note that I...

After spending a lot of time researching the stuff, I finally got my hands dirty. I do like to tinker around with stuff so have a Gigabyte Z68MA-D2H-B3 rev 1.3 with me which I am working on. I also have a ASUS P8P67 Rev 3.1 which I have not yet explored. The objective of this build is to help...

After doing my research, I am about to embark on my own CustoMac. I will be using i5 2500K but I am still undecided about the Motherboard. I would like to go with the Gigabyte H67 because of the support here, but my Microcenter ran out of the motherboards today! So I went to Frys and picked up...

A very basic question: When installing SL or Lion, does the installer require a minimum size of the disk for it continue installing? Also how big are the typical OS installs? I was planning to put the OS on a 60GB SSD but I am not sure whether it will be considered big enough by the OS.

I am about to embark on building my first CustoMac. I do not have any working Mac at home. It seems you can not download Lion from the App Store unless you have Snow Leopard. I am not sure how well the integrated HD3000 graphics work with Snow Leopard. It seems that I will have to go with...

Preamble: After thinking about installing MacOS on a Q6600 Dell Insipron 530 I have decided to create a brand new from the scratch build. Objective: Create a computer primarily for home stuff, pictures, videos etc. which my wife and kids can use. Requirements: Usability :ch: Needs to look...

I started looking at making a Mac at home today evening and found this great site. It seems a lot of work has been done to make it happen. We do not have a Mac at home so we are relative noobs. 1. Storage Disks: Does the OS support multiple disks? Intel chipsets have 6 SATA ports so in...
