My Hackintosh build

I had not noticed the open picture. I just noticed that the reflection in the side of the case was no longer pink.

LOL...
I guess you are confusing it with intrus22... viewtopic.php?p=6815#p6815

My room was never pink...

Quite right! Sorry . Nice case, anyway. They do look kind of similar...

WOW, I think this thread can go down in history as the most thread-jacked and OT-laden one...
Sorry about that,

lol Yeah, it's not a hiuge deal. Most of the stuff talked about in this thread is related to the topic of the thread.

On a side note, I successfully installed Snow Leopard 10.6.4 last night and my machine is running beautifully. I got everything working including network, sound, and my GTX 470 (using the unofficial driver).

Funny that the main issue became a "side note"... What a Red Herring !

For the network driver, I downloaded the PCI Express driver from Realtek's website for Mac and installed. It works very nicely. For sound, I just rolled back to the 10.6.2 AppleHDA from Multibeast 2.0 and used DSDT to get it working. For my graphics card, it was a little more tricky. I had to use my 9500 GT to install Snow Leo and then install the modified bootloader and driver for Fermi before putting in my Fermi. After that, I got full QE/CI and both DVI ports and my HDMI port can display video. If I install VoodooHDA, I can get sound coming out of the HDMI on my TV, but it' not really important. Also, my PC speakers sound much better than my TV speakers.

KUDOS !

Later I'll see about writing a guide for my motherboard and getting Snow Leopard 10.6 installed using iBoot and Multibeast DSDT. It took me a while to get the correct BIOS settings, but I did manage to eventually make the BIOS cooperate with loading both Mac and Windows.

Looking forward to read it !!!

Not quite a red herring, it was not deliberate.

As am I!

What speakers do you use?

I was sarcastically referring to pcmantinker's deliberate attempt to drive the conversation to his successful installation.

Also, my PC speakers sound much better than my TV speakers.

I'm also interested in knowing which speakers you are using...
Have been considering (though speakers are not my forte...) the Harman-Kardon Soundsticks II for a while, but those are obscenely expensive...

Nice sarcasm, other than it wasn't so clear...

Well, my speakers are nothing special, but just a $30 set I got from Office Depot a while back. It's got two speakers and a subwoofer which adds nice depth to the sound. They have really nice sound quality compared to my TV's speakers. I'll have to look up the brand later when I get home. Later, I may invest in an HD audio system since my computer supports 7.1 audio. I will have to do some research to find the best setup for the best price.
