Stutopia Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 If you're in it for the challenge and satisfaction, maybe http://nofilmschool.com/build-a-hackintosh/ I quite like the idea of having a crack at this! Worse case scenario, you end up with a decent PC/Ubuntu machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jumping350 Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I built my computer over Xmas and isn't that hard as long as you have bits it just all plugs together, hardest bit is drivers/software etc for me everything else was pretty straight forward, i might have an alienware case knocking about if interested let me know OS aren't hard to get these days lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wizurd Posted January 10, 2014 Author Share Posted January 10, 2014 Interesting idea on building a hackintosh. Always go with windows since its what I'm used to. Have worked on AIX so Unix isn't something I'm alien to just not in the home arena. Thanks for the hot deals link. Not sure that's actually cheaper than I'm getting the bits for at the moment though. Although good to keep an eye on there. OS wise I may just be going windows 8.1 but I'll see. Like I said I've built a couple of pcs years back now and I know I lovr having all those boxes sat there with bits waiting to be plugged together so there's definitely a lot of satisfaction with building it yourself. Will have more of a nose around today since I'm off. Cheers for the info ideas so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilp Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 Oh no, the FBI might come hunt you down for downloading, be really scared. I owned the biggest torrent site in iceland, almost 50% of the population was registered for 4 years, no problems at all. Where is it now?
