htpc

Sorry if this is longwinded or more detail than necessary! I'm a total n00b when it comes to networking :( I finally got my 10.11.6 machine to run with a static private IP so my Verizon FIOS router would keep it available with port forwarding rules, but it seems whenever the machine gets...

Recently I replaced my Desktop with small form factor PC. It is an excellent experience when customizing a computer. Now I present you my tiny HTPC that runs MacOS Sierra. It doesn't have any Graphics card because my aim is to make it smaller, so I'm using the Intel HD Graphics. HTPC Build...

Ok, so I already have a Photo/Video editing (Z97) hackintosh that runs great. I now want to build a simple HTPC to replace my aging Macbook Pro 2011 which runs Plex and is connected to the TV and 2 external hard drives. I want it to be a skylake build but I don't have any experience with that so...

Hey all, Worked on this cube mod Summer of 2014. Still in progress and 90% done but wanted to share what I have and the steps I took to get there. Inspired by thegyufi's G4 cube mod. I tackled it looking to make a replica but with a personal spin. I speak a good amount of French so following...

I am a complete noob at this (have no experience building a computer) so I want to keep my first build as basic as possible. I'm thinking of building something along the lines of a CustoMac Mini but in a nice looking HTPC case. It will mostly be used for watching Plex (server) and Kodi but...

Anyone tried to hack the Lenovo Q190? It would make an awesome alternative to the mac mini if it's doable. Here are the specs: DESCRIPTION Q190 CPU Intel® Mobile Celeron® Dual-Core 1017U (1.60GHz 2MB) Intel Core i3-3217U Processor Operating System Windows 8.1 with Bing 64 Windows 8...

I am looking to build a CustoMac Mini/HTPC hackintosh for my dad. He is totally for me building one as opposed to buying a mac mini, but is concerned about reliability and stability, as the Mac Mini is guaranteed to work right out of the box. Furthermore, he needs to have thunderbolt on the...

So, I'm new to building so take that into account when responding. I'm trying to get all of my ducks in a row and get my expectations where they ought to be. I'm wanting to build a powerful system that kind of serves as a hub for everything, that is, if it is possible to build such a system...

Didn't really want to put this into buying advice, since at the moment I'm not set on what I want to do, but probably the best place for it... So my wife and I (who am I kidding, she's had nothing to do with it!) are renovating our downstairs room to serve as a second living room/man cave...

Hi, I'm about to start building my first hackintosh and would really appreciate help in confirming the hackability of my list, and any other input the tonymac community could offer. I think I've settled on a list of components for the machine, which will replace a Late 2009 Mac mini. I'd like...

Hi, This is my first attempt at building a Hackintosh, and I wanted to get some feedback on my proposed build. The machine will serve as both an HTPC and an NAS. On the HTPC side, its primary use will be encoding (Handbrake) and playing media (Plex); no gaming. On the server side it will run...

Hi, I've been reading this site for months now planning my first build and wanted to get some expert advice now that I've narrowed things down; I'd appreciate any advice or thoughts on the below specs as I'm sure I've overlooked a number of things and would really benefit from a veteran's eye...

ok so im not sure I'm posting this in the right place but the folks at tonymacx86 have always been good to me so i though i would give it a shot.
