I would strongly suggest going with a Gigabyte motherboard to ensure the best compatibility.

I don't know if SCSI hard drives are compatible or not. Do you have a SCSI card that they will connect to?

If your going to use the WD 1.5TB hard drive for data will that be Mac Data or Windows data, or do you plan to format the drive with two partitions?

I wouldn't go with an Nvidia 4xx series GPU, a lot of people are having issues with freezing. I don't believe that the 5750 GPU is compatible. I know that the 5770 GPU is.

You may also have problems with the Blu-Ray drive and waking-up your system from sleep.

ok I think I choose this: GIGABYTE GA-P55A-UD4 - Socket 1156 - Chipset P55 - ATX 142

Hard disks are both SATA.

I will make a partition for Windows and a partition for Mac OS X

Ok, but on Osx86 wiki in 10.6.5 Hardware Compatibility Lists http://wiki.osx86project.org/wiki/index ... 10.6.5#ATI
there is also Radeon HD 5750 1GB Vapor-x, why you belive that the 5750 GPU is not compatible?

I would use the bluray only with windows for mac I use a LG DVD player.

thanks for your help..

I look forward to suggestions
