That is a beast! Nice video jeff excited to see more
+iDeviceMovies I’m admittedly a newb at this, but I’m pretty happy with my
first Hackintosh build. This is the first PC that I’ve built in over 10
years, so I had a lot to learn and was pretty rusty on all of the new
standards, ports, etc. PCs have come a LONG way since the days of PCI and
AGP cards.
We need that tutorial ASAP !
+Giallo Rosso Productions It’s coming soon 🙂
I’m curious, why didn’t u tell ur viewers from idownloadblog you were going
to continue making videos on a different channel?
+carlos53k because you guys are smart enough to figure it out 🙂
OHHHH a tutorial would be nice Jeff!
just when I thought we won’t hear your voice anymore, finally found your
new home! Yaaaaaaaaay
I don’t get the desire to build a pc around mac OS, especially a VR pc.
Without the MAC restrictions, I was able to build a I7, 3.8 GHz, 16 gig
ram, GTX 970 EVGA, and solid state 240 gig drive for just over $600. I own
plenty of apple mobile products, but a pc will never be one of them, just
seems pointless.
Pcpp list please?
MultiBeast – very bad!!!
Clover or Ozmosis – professional Hackintosh!
+Aleksey Konovalov well, thats bullshit
Looking forward to the next video. Still getting used to this is Jeff from
9to5 Mac.
Haha jeff my hackintosh is crazy and it sucks because it takes a lot of
modifying OS X just to run.
Jeeefffff Idownloadblog we miss you :(
I hate to break it to you, but the Oculus Rift is not OS X supported. The
HTC Vive will be, though.
Hey would a zalman 9900 max cpu cooler fit into your build???
Keep posting videos Bro. This looks series look awesome. I´m big fan of
this video series
Hackintosh?

broken

Can I connect Ethernet to it and still be use iMessages and those kind of
apps?
