I have an old (2012) workstation in my lab that I am thinking of trying to Hackintosh. I know very little about computer building in general, and nothing about server/workstation parts. I was hoping someone on here could tell me if my parts were compatible: CPU: Intel Xeon E3-1275 v2 GPU...

Hi All! With macOS update High Sierra 10.13.3 it seems like a lot of people are having an issue with the error “Could Not Connect To Reocvery Server”, I am one of them. I am using a Dell Optiplex 780 with a Core 2 Quad, and an XFX Radeon 5450. I am willing to remove the GPU since I don’t really...

I did direct install of High Sierra on DELL R710. It worked stable for 2 weeks then I got to the conclusion of no use of this build so shut id down. Details: 1. 2x [4x cores Xeon]] showed benchmark matching similar MAC's without any surprises (Geekbench 4) 2. 72 GB RAM looks too much for...

Hello, I just made DELL PowerEdge R710 finally booted into OSX using Clover but from the external USB drive because of the RAID issue: none of my HDDs are visible! I have 1x SATA SSD, 1x RAID0 SAS (2x HDD), 1x SATA HDD - NONE of them is available in Disk Utility. Also, I am using EVGA GeForce...

Ok so many have tried....few have succeeded but I think I have a good plan in place and am off to a good start. The plan is to convert an Xserve Raid to be used as a JBOD/ SAS expander back to a NAS server or Hackintosh raid controller. This will allow me to keep the case and all of the...

Hello internet, I recently came into contact with an IBM x3400 M2 with dual Quad-Core Xeons and 24gb RAM. I decided to make it a hackintosh, but there are some issues. The onboard graphics don't work, and it needs a graphics card, also, the onboard nik does not work. The machine has 24gb ram...

Hey Guys, Curious which OS I should focus on running on a MacPro 1,1 in 2016? I know, it's old. But I just can't let this machine die. It's a MacPro 1,1 (2006) I pushed to 2,1 and did the 8core processor upgrade. It's currently running 32gigs of RAM, 5770 gfx & and booting on an SSD to Snow...

I am building this to replace a legit Mac Mini 2012 with 2 external HDDs running as a (99% of the time headless) Plex server. I'd like to spend money where it matters and not on things like the video card. It's been about a decade since I last built ANY computer, so I would appreciate any...

I installed macOS Sierra without any issue but I switched back to El Capitan. Because RLM License server not worked on Sierra. I'm a 3D artist. Many programs and plugins like RealFlow, Arnold required RLM License server. Anyone have installed RLM Server on 10.12 or new 10.12.1? Tutorial -...

I have some old 2009 Apple Xserves that I have been trying to keep running with decent speed over the years. I use them for my small business and they must be running 99.9% of the year. I only reason I haven't upgraded yet is because Apple doesn't offer any computers with dual power supplies...

I used word storage server because I want to avoid being suggested NAS products. I have yet to see a NAS that is extensible and cost effective enough for my current and future needs. Problem/Situation/Plea for help I want to build a extensible storage solution that I can easily upload and...

Hi guys, I am building a tiny Fileshare PC and I need some advice on CPU buying, please? I have got most of my components and I have between £50 and £100 to spend on the CPU. Obvs I would like it to be as cheap as possible, but I understand that the OS I use will dictate the CPU I need, and...

After peeking around and messing with some installs on hardware I had already, I am looking to dive in and build one from scratch. I have a couple different considerations / possibilities, which I'd like to have do double duty as a video editing solution as well as personal backup. The reason...

So i'm attempting to build an OS X 10.9 Server, i think i've found most of my parts but i'm fuzzy on what processor. This is going to be used for centralized backups, file server, and mainly a Minecraft server with as many as 20 players but that could go up. i'm thinking of using a Intel...

Should I make a hackintosh using a server motherboard or normal motherboard? Will it make a difference? All I want is to make a computer that will last a long time and can support major gaming and video rendering.

Can OS X run on this machine? it has intel xeon E5440 cpu (2x) and 8GB ram. And I mean the normal os x, not the server version.

Hi! Currently my Hackintosh has been running smoothly for a few months now. I love it :). I've upgraded to a SS Drive and everything with out any compatibility issues. What i would like to know now is: would it be possible to upgrade to the Server version (Mavericks) with the Server App? If so...
