Hi Everyone,
I've been out of work for 1.7 yrs due to illness, and my son needs a mac to learn xcode. We have a imac, but Santa needs to find another cheap mac/hackintosh so we can learn xcode together.
I would like to be able to run win 7 pro and osx snow leapord or lion. We have purchased all of those operating systems.
I use to be a system admin (small scale) so I've built a few pc's before and started with dos 2.1, so i've been around for a while.
I bought a hp Pavilion d4100y several yrs ago, replaced the power supply 1 yr ago. if I can use this case that would be great. Here is the link:

Win 7 would be used with boot camp. My son likes to play world of tanks and call of duty blk ops.
So with that in mind, what would you choose for sound video and such?
Would like to use 16gb of memory for the xtra 20 bucks or so, it would be nice.
I tried to hack it a yr ago. and was able to get it to load snow leapord. but no sound or internet, so after days of trying, I figured the hardware was just to old.
I really appreciate your help. Also one of my favorite apps is ialertu
It will take a pic if someone touches your mac and email it to you for free.
Thanks,
Dan
