Thanks. Your right in that I should pick something that someone (or someones) is actively on top of. I'm definitely not an expert but I can follow directions (got me this far). So I want to make sure if something goes wrong in an update, someone can solve it ahead of me and I'll follow.

Hello, I am thinking of hacking a laptop to work on developing apps while on the go. It wouldn't be my primary computer (I have a desktop at home), but I need something while I travel including my daily commute to and from work (~50 minutes on the bus). I like the Buyer's Guide for desktops...

:clap:

Hey everyone, I have a quick question. I somehow thought that I could just upgrade my mavericks build to Yosemite through the App Store [pause for laugh], knowing my mistake I now have a drive that is sort of upgraded but doesn't work, a clone (Mavericks), and a time machine build (Mavericks)...

I was hoping the notes from the console would be useful but I can't find any leads as to what they could mean (again, I'm pretty new to all this). The only good news is that I tried out my Ubuntu usb stick and I can confirm that both FireWire 800 and Firewire 400 drives will connect and I can...

I plugged the card into a PCI-E slot, booted up, tried 400 and 800 ports and nothing mounts but drives light up and feel like their disks are spinning. In short, here are my (relevant?) specs: CPU Intel Core i5-4670 3.4GHz Quad-Core Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP ATX LGA1150...

Yep, that was it. Should have known something was up with the display situation when safe mode showed a very different resolution.

[Probably solved] Worked for weeks but now can only boot with -x PCIRootUID=1 (GA-Z87-D3HP) So, after all the hours I wasted, I had a sneaking suspicion that for some reason it had something to do with the HDMI hookup to the monitor. Even though it worked for weeks, something made it so that it...

[Probably Solved] Worked for weeks but now can only boot with -x PCIRootUID=1 (GA-Z87-D3HP) MY SETUP Processor: Intel Haswell i5-4570 MB: Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP ATX LGA1150 Ram: Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Storage: Western Digital Silicon Edge Blue 256GB 2.5" SSD (I also have a...

Confirmed, I just built it this morning and am working through the issues while also doing work. Current problems: audio not working, messages not working, can't seem to reset properly. I am looking into the forums and found some leads on those issues but have to finish my Xmas shopping first...

For anyone who sees this, I thought I would update it. I decided to drop the i3 and get an i5-4570, realizing that an i3 was probably a poor choice for what I do. Also, I got a good deal on a GA-z87-D3HP, though I am still wondering if it is a good choice for hacking since it was never included...

Hello, My parts arrive tomorrow and I will be using the 10.9 Mavericks instructions. Here is my build: Intel Haswell i5-4570 Gigabyte GA-Z87-D3HP ATX LGA1150 Corsair Vengeance LP 8GB (1 x 8GB) DDR3-1600 Western Digital Silicon Edge Blue 256GB 2.5" SSD (I also have a number of other 2.5" drives...

Hello everyone, This will be my first build and I am undecided between the GA-Z87X-D3H and the GA-Z87X-UD3H motherboards. The other components include: Intel Core i3-4330 3.5GHz Dual-Core Processor Corsair Carbide Series 500R Arctic White CORSAIR TX Series CMPSU-650TX 650W ATX12V /...
