Title: New to hackinroshing and I NEED HELP
Post by: patrick1359 on August 22, 2010, 03:41:05 am
Ok, this is my first time posting here, and I am sort of informed, yet sort of brain dead on the whole hackintosh thing. I think I got most of it down though. So right now, what I am trying to do is set up my very first hackintosh, and I am not sure if I have all the right equipment. I also want to keep this under $900. I am not sure if I am making the right choices or not, so I hope you guys can help. Also, I am interested in boot camp. So right below is my what I would like to know if it is all compatible, and I am hoping I can get some really good help here.

You may look into this setup, may be a little closer to a Mac Pro and is in your price range.  The link also includes what you need to get it up and running.
