Could someone Please review the below list, let me know if I'm overlooking anything, if you have alternate recommendations, or any advice.

The only other Hackint0sh I've done is a Dell Mini and that was super super simple...

This one I know will be a bit more complex.

My goal is to use this as a workstation for design (graphic/web) a lot of photoshop, indesign, flash etc.

Thanks!!

Richie

Great Thanks!!

That's what I was hoping for, a build that could utilize a retail version.

I did notice one thing I forgot to add to my list... An optical drive.

Thanks again for checking in.

No tricks will be necessary to get all the core's functioning? Should be pretty on par with a Mac Pro?

Richie

DSDT patch is the trick, you will learn about there, with distro just can get one core working ;P good luck and dont forget to report back your progress ;D

Well theres some benchmark with Hackint0sh core i7, google them and compare ;>

New Shopping list...

Any reason why I shouldn't pull the trigger? Going to order this weekend, and hopefully build next weekend.

Thanks everyone for your help.

Richie

Awesome!! Thanks so much, I know I'm a pain.

I just don't want to make a fatal mistake on a Pricey item.

I've been using a hackint0sh Macbook Mini (dell mini 10v) and completely locked myself out today (updating to 10.5.7) because I didn't understand all the in's and outs...

but I figured out how to fix it (on my own) So I think I'm ready to do a "Hack Pro"

Very very excited!! I haven't owned anything other than a retail mac in over 10 years!!! And I can't afford a new Mac Pro.
