Also, Tim, now that you have clearly risen from the dead, you built a Hackintosh correct?
 
If so, was it easy to do? And if not, WHY NOT???


I played for so long trying to get a hack-pro working and then I found Kakewalk. It makes it a piece of cake to install, the only catch is you have to have a supported motherboard and graphics card. Other options are Unibeast or myHack but they can require more configuring post installation.

It works just as well and you can have your own fully fledged Mac for video editing (final cut) or whatever else in hardly any time and for minimal cost. I just have it on a second HDD so I can boot into osx or win.

Shit Tim says.

Cheers for that.
I knew about the motherboards, but not about kakewalk, I'll check it out.

As soon as she hands it to you, slowly take of your pants, then, while staring her straight in the eyes rub it against the tip of you penis, while continuing your painfully intense gaze whisper to her;

No probs Ash. It's so simple to make a bootable usb installer. And from there you have a running mac in 45mins.

Let me know if you get stuck.

I'm slowly doing mine up, got an i7-3770k (de-lidded and lapped), EVGA Z77 FTW, EVGA GTX 780 Classified - still need RAM and a cooler (either Corsair H100i or an NZXT Kraken X60) and *possibly* a bigger PSU (got some 650w Corsair when the original one shat itself a few months ago).

You on overclockers?

I've actually got my own geek corner on the web, here is the latest blog post about my new XBMC setup on an Intel NUC. I run my XBMC over a gigabit network to my main PC (Windows 7 x64 Pro), which has about 15TB storage space. If you want more details, just ask lol. I'm not a PC gamer, and never have been really. My setups are purely functional, and serve my needs.

I've basically got a 13" Macbook Pro (top specs, many win), XBMC/Theater setup in the other room, and a development PC in the office.

Very nice.

I'm tempted to get a NUC myself.

So tell me, why use such a powerful device just to run XBMC on?

HD content. If its encoded in h264 codec it can push it to the video card for processing, and the i5 NUC has HD 5000 onboard. But then you have situations where you want to watch a 1080p Hi10p codec anime, which cannot be pushed onto the GPU, so the processor needs to cope while maintaining low enough heat levels (to keep it quiet/save power etc). My old PC could only just do HD content, thanks to its 9600GT. It would freeze on occasion when playing Hi10p anime. This one doesn't even break a sweat.

 

You can get away with the i3 model, which has HD 4400. Throw in 4GB ram and simply run XBMC off a flash drive. But I wanted to be prepared for the possibility of 4K content, and it was only a couple hundred more in the end. There are also the Gigabyte BRIX alternatives now, but I just wanted to buy something nice personally :P

 

I haven't tried, but I could if I wanted to, put Windows on it and play video games, but that's not what I built it for.
