  1. I'm from America, Upsatate NY to be specific. First time hackentoshing. Gained considerable experience over the last 4 days. Still not perfect. Detailed my crappy experience with tonycrap on the following thread, lists current state(not brief but this is) Sorry, it's the best documentation I have right now. http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/ ... 8-working/ My interest in hackentosh has been going on for a while. IT became solidified when the mac version of the software my job is tied to went intel only. I've been pushing a g5 pro tower to it's limits in this moden age. Sick of finagling solutions. Want to upgrade but don't want to be limited by apple's unupgradable hardware. So over the last 6 months I used my meager paychecks to slowly get together my build. Finally had everything last friday and got to work. My computer skill level is about mid level. I am familiar with fixing and replacing hardware on computer systems, familiar with what i now understand is only low mid level expertise in os x troubleshooting. Plenty of experience installing windows and mac on their respective systems. I'm not totally ignorant but not an genius either. I'm good at documenting for others trying similar builds. That's what I can offer this community. That ahnd I plan to donate whatever I can to whichever site helps me get this done. There, I think that matches guidelines. Again, sorry i jumped the gun into troubleshooting and any rule breaches from my first post.
  2. full build: Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3 itx(f8) 500 watt coolermaster PCU 4 gigs ram(plan to go 8 gigs when functioning) EVGA GeForce 210 1024 MB DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 video card Intel Core i3-2120 Dual-Core Processor 3.3 GHz processor. Seagate Barracuda 7200 500 GB SATA 6.0 drive (3 partitions with 1 main experiment partition and 2 clone backups, immediate 10.6.3 install, most recent functioning 10.6.8) Dual Layer DVD burner with light scribe Cooler Master Elite 120 Advanced - Mini-ITX Computer Case Technical experience: Mid to expert level, not totally ignorant Caple of installing os's, working with hardware, this is my first computer from scratch build and much easier and fun than I expected. I got a story you've all probably heard before. I started with Tony Crap. Was asking too many questions and ended up getting banned. Started working on my own reconisance documenting as I went. Still foolishly using tonycrap tools for the most part. Here's the thread I've done on insanelymac: http://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/ ... 8-working/ If you'd care to see my progress. I've gotten to a point where I kinda understand ktext but it feels like I hit a wall. Hoping you folks could be nice and help me out. I got .DMG files working with a ktext from the 10.6.3 installer. However still can't read flash media. Audio still sounds like crackly farts, Still can't boot from HD, bios give some sort of disk error. Anyhow there's my situation and am not sure if I should try and get the current stable run going right or just do it all over with myhack. BTW,Yes I want 10.6.8 I don't want ML as I have many many many universal binary applications from my PPC macs on my network I wish to continue to use. This community seems like the best thing I''ve found in my internets travels. Hello!
