DrNomis_44's Hackintosh Build

[kimball492]

The steampunk theme sounds fun dedman you could use external water coolers to make it look even more original.

The new Mac Pro is a stunning piece of engineering inside.but all your extra audio device's need extra external boxes tfit them in.

I've been collecting bits off and on to do a entertainment PC steampunk style possibly in a wooden case with lots of knobs and dials and external hoses that don't actually do anything

That sounds pretty radical, I've always like the Steampunk look, it reminds me of Joules Verne's 20,000 Leagues Under The Sea.

Ok so i only read up to the end of page 2 so I dont forget what Im going to say... Doc, the process takes a while as there are custom bootloaders and stuff to do, you might as well do multiple HDDs and do a DUAL BOOT system, which is extremely easy, if you can get OSX running on the Hackintosh the no doubt you could dual boot Win7,8 or 10 that you can select on boot startup.

Also Doc where is the El Cap DVD going to be installed?

EDIT: about the trash can Pro, it is so damn expensive because Apple are using WORKSTATION grade hardware, thats the entire main focus on the Pro. Doing a Hackintosh for any of the main Mac units is the same thing but just CONSUMER grade hardware. Plus you can start small at something around $1000 and go as high as the compatibility list can go!

I was thinking along the lines of having two HDDs in my Hackintosh PC, one as the System drive and the other as the Audio drive (for audio recordings), then I would install El Capitain on the System drive, of course I could do as you're suggesting and make it a Dual-Boot system, I don't know if Microsoft will let me install Windows 7 onto the Hackintosh as a dual-boot using my Genuine Windows 7 DVDs, since they were registered with my Desktop DAW PC before I made the jump to Windows 10, I'd probably have to purchase a new licensing code.
