Hi all,
I'm planning to build a triple-boot Mac/Linux/Windows box - Mac for rendering/editing and Windows for games. The current Mac is a 2011-era Macbook and showing its age! The parts are pretty close to the tonymacx86 guide.
Some questions
- Will it function as a hackintosh? :D How much setup will be involved?
- Are all the parts on a reasonably similar level? Nothing too overpowered/underpowered for the rest of the build?
- Does the power supply look reasonable?
- If I wanted to make this cheaper, what parts should I downgrade?
