Hi. I'm looking for a Mac and right now it's: HP ProBook 4530s, custom tower, or 2010 White MacBook. The idea for a tower came from an issue of PC Magazine. They had an article: Build a Better Linux PC For Under $200. That inspired me to look at the CustoMac Buyer's guide and Amazon to pick out parts. I'm gonna list them here and ask what is compatible or how compatible they are.
