I am planning on building 2-3 beefy "CustoMacs" to act as a render farm for FCP/FCPX. Before I buy all of the gear, I'd like to build my first Hackintosh on an old box(es) I have lying around. My logic is ... "Make mistakes with older gear befor investing in the new & shiny".
Here is what I have ...
Gigabyte P35C-DS3R
Intel CoreDuo E6550 @ 2.33GHz
8GB id G-SKill DDR2 RAM
NVIDIA GeForce 8800 GTS video card.
Velociraptor 10K 150GB Boot drive (SATA)
This box is already assembled and running Windows 7. So, I know it works.
My questions are ...
1) Has anyone built this sort of rig before? I did a search here for the various components and did not find any builds. It looks like most of the builds here are newer mobo/procs.
2) Given this gear, is there a particular thread I should read to get me started.
Thanks in advance for your help
