Hi, I've had my Hackintosh up and running since February. I just started using Final Cut Pro, and my 60 Gb SSD just isn't big enough. I was thinking I could still use it as the boot drive and not have to reinstall if I got a bigger SSD, maybe 250 Gb or 120 Gb and also got a raid card. From what...

I just sent my Corsair H60 back to Corsair because it was to loud. Has anyone else had this problem before?

I have selected all my parts and will get the majority of them in the next week or two. I'm going to be using the Gigabyte Z77 Mini ITX board. I'm going to use HD 4000 graphics from the Intel i5 Ivy Bridge. Do I need to install any DSDT or use Multibeast? I know I would need one for HDMI Audio...

I just agreed to purchase a PowerBook G3 on Craigslist for $10. It doesn't power on, but I figured someone here could help me once I get it. I intend to just have it as a collectible, but if it actually worked that'd be awesome! Does anyone know what could be wrong? Thanks, HyperMac5 If this is...

Hey Hackintoshers, I'm going to be building a Hackintosh in a BitFenix Prodigy powered by Intel HD 4000 graphics with my i5. I'm looking to see if anyone has any recommendations of 21.5" monitors under $150. It doesn't have to be amazing, but it should be LED and have an HDMI port. Right now I...

I posted a more general and longer question in Hardware Discussion but nobody has responded so I'm posting here. I'm getting an Ivy Bridge Intel Core i5 at Micro Center and I've heard that they offer $40 off when you buy a motherboard with your CPU! So here's my situation. I could buy the ASRock...

I have heard that the Gigabyte boards are the best when using a DSDT, but I was wondering about when I wasn't? I'm buying the Intel Core i5 3570K at Micro Center and some people have said that the sales person will actually give you $40 off on a compatible motherboard. I'm looking to purchase a...

I have seen a few guides and they have really inspired me to build a Hackintosh in a G4 Cube. My question is will the gigabyte h77/z77 mini itx motherboard fit in it? I'm asking because this would be great as these mobos don't require a DSDT unless you use HDMI, which I may or may not on this...

I have posted several posts about my parts lists, but the problem is that it keeps changing! So hopefully here is the final one before I order! List: Case $80 http://us.ncix.com/products/?sku=71144&vpn=BFC-PRO-300-WWXKW-RP&manufacture=BitFenix&promoid=1395 PSU $50...

Apple has gotten a patent for a really cool headphone/speaker hybrid. They serve as headphones while you're out and about or listening by yourself, but they double as speakers when you want to play music out loud! Check out this article from laptopmag for more info...

Hello, I looking to have the system I will be building water cooled. I know the BitFenix Prodigy, which is the case I'm using, can hold a 240mm radiator. Does anyone think it would be possible to only do half of that? I mean getting a 120mm radiator and then getting a 120mm fan to fill up the...

I know this does not deal with internal hardware of a Hackintosh, but my parts list is finalized and I'm ready to order all the components, so I need to shift my focus over to the mouse and keyboard. I would get the actual Apple Wireless Keyboard and Magic Mouse, but I don't want to drop $140...

I have settled on all my parts, but now I'm looking to water cool my system. I am using a BitFenix Prodigy so a 240mm radiator makes sense and fits perfect. I'm on a budget. Does anyone know of water coolers that cost less than $80 (lower would be even better) that would be good for this case...

I was wondering if it would be a good idea to overclock the i5 I am getting. I heard that it can make the life of the CPU shorter?:problem: I will be using the computer for iMovie, iTunes, schoolwork, surfing the web and email. I will also be dual booting so that I can try windows 8 and play a...

I saw this SSD on Amazon and was wondering if it was any good. http://www.amazon.com/Wintec-2-5-Inch-SATA3-Series-SATA-III/dp/B007NG2FAC/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top. I've personally never heard of Wintec before, but every company has to start somewhere;)! Is anyone using this and having a good...

Hello, I have finalized all my parts and was about to order them, but then I saw at Microcenter.com that the i5 was only $50 more than the i3 I intended to buy. ($170 http://www.microcenter.com/product/388577/Core_i5_3570K_34GHz_LGA_1155_Processor vs. $120...

Hello, I am new to the Hackintosh. I have spent at least a month and a half researching. Now I want to build my own. I have narrowed my case down to two options. I will either buy a Bitfenix Prodigy on NCIX.com for $80 or mod a Mac Pro or G5 case from eBay or Craigslist. I looking to know what...
