Hey! So i want to build this for my brother, he is graduation high school this year and has wanted a mac for along time, he is a huge video editor and picture editor. Here is the build i was going to do.
Using the Power Mac G4 Case, I am going to mod it and put one of the mini itx builds i saw on here.
GIGABYTE GA-H77N-WIFI LGA 1155 Intel H77
Intel Core i5-3570K Ivy Bridge 3.4GHz (3.8GHz Turbo) LGA 1155
CORSAIR Vengeance 8GB (2 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM
Thermaltake TR2 W0070RUC 430W ATX12V V2.2 Intel Core i7
Seagate Barracuda Green ST1500DL003 1.5TB 5900 RPM 64MB
SAMSUNG 8X Slim Internal DVD Burner
One of my questions, does the wifi on the mobo work with the osx mountain lion? I am completely knew and trying to learn as much as i can, so sorry if these questions seem odd.
What else, if anything, do i need to add to make this work? (other then the OS)
This is my third computer build, but first attempt at a Hackintosh, and since its a gift i want it to work as best as it can, of course fixing things here and there is not a problem since he is my brother, and i can always help him with any problems.
Thanks for any input!
Edit: Okay so i just realized, with the G4 quicksilver case, the video card wont line up with the slot on the computer, if he ever wanted to upgrade from the HD4000 graphics, which im sure he will someday. But Does anybody know of a good Micro ATX Motherboard that would be fully compatible with this build, and that would run without the dsdt?
