Hello, I've been lurking on this site for some time and finally have the funds to begin my first hackintosh. I've based a TON of it off the 2013 CustoMac Pro Buyers Guide, with a few alterations. I plan on dual booting OSX Mountain Lion and Win 7 (I own legit copies of both! =p)...

[SOLVED] BOOTMGR is missing | The Dual Boot Debacle PROBLEM: Can not get boot loader to see WIN7 boot drive. "BOOTMGR is missing" I have had no problems getting OSX to run from boot loader. Win7 boots only when I change to Windows Drive in the BIOS. I have tried reinstalling WIN7 and...

Hi all, I was planning on building a new PC for geospatial analyses (Arc GIS 10 in case it helps) and during my research stumbled across the 'hackintosh' phenomenon, which is exciting for me because I am mostly a Mac user but have never had the resources to buy the kind of high-end, expandable...

I am really considering my first hackintosh build and here is the spec I have gone for based on the Custo Mac Mini Deluxe. Please can you check it is all correct and will work together? I am based in the uk so I have had to find uk websites for the parts. I also plan on running it on a dual...

Hi all, I'm super-noob, first hackintosh ever, first PC build ever, so apologies in advance. I've been trawling through the forums on here trying to find a solution to my problems, but the solutions I find don't seem to be quite the same. Here is my rig: Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H Intel i5 3570k...

Hi, I am preparing to build my first custom mac, and I want to make sure I have everything I need, and compatible, I went to customac guides, and most of the mobos there are gigabyte but rarely any reviews on them on newegg so I am a little sceptical about choosing a mobo with no reviews. Are...

I just purchased the Targus ACB10US Bluetooth USB adapter, as it is listed in the 2012 Customac Guide. However, it does not work. When I plug it in I don't get any bluetooth icon in the Preference Pane, but it does show up under System Profiler. Is anyone using this on Mountain Lion with a...

Hello everyone, I am planning on getting a good hackintosh since they cost a third of what a real mac costs. However, I am not very experienced in this and could use some help from you experts. Here is my current hardware-list: (Swedish words may occur, but you will hopefully know what...

This might be less of a Hackintosh than a PC-building question... Just put my build together: Intel Core i5-3570K 8GB Corsair 1600Mhz DDR3 Corsair Carbide 400R Corsair 430 Watt I cannot boot up. I **think** I plugged in every appropriate PS to MoBo wire, but I don't havea 4pin ATI power cord...

I suppose this is aimed at the Mods, but I'll take a response from anyone who knows the answer. Everything in the recommended build list makes sense. The hardware is listed because it is as compatible with OS X as possible. But why is the SanDisk Extreme SSD recommended? Is this the best SSD...
