Could someone please 'build' me a computer to run OSx86?

[Harshboy]

Wow. I double post a lot.


I'm thinking if I'm gonna dual boot osx86 and XP I'm gonna want a bigger hard drive to partition. Any recommendations for a 500 GB?

I've been wanting that drive for a while now, but don't have enough money yet.

If you're going to pay $70 for a 500 gig drive, you might as well double your pleasure for an extra $15*:

Here's the Black Edition version of that drive, if hard drive performance is a concern. It's $95:

Sadly I don't think there is much of a chance I will ever have even 500 GB of data. Will probably get the one Harshboy linked to, seems pretty good, has a 5 year warranty and has twice the cache of some of the other ones. God,I don't even know what that means, but it sounds good!

It means it'll be fast.

If I ever upgrade to a new HDD, I am going to notice a difference in loading and startup times because as of now, my hard drive is the bottleneck in my system. It only has 8MB of cache and is 3+ years old.

Anybody know where I v\can get a kalyway disc?

[bicostp]

For stuff like that, Google is your friend.

[snowpenguin]

I searched, but all I got were guides.

[Harshboy]

Torrents/Usenet.

I can't give you links.

[snowpenguin]

I think I might've found one...

[AfroLH]

Don;t link to pirating sites.

[snowpenguin]

oops!

Dragonhead recommended I use the Antec 300 for casing, but today I saw the storm scout and I fell in love. Anyone used that before?

I converted an old Dell Dimension XPS T500 to a standard ATX case to use, does that count? Unfortunately stupid me made the modified front cable too short, got lazy and impatient, and just used a generic ATX case that was lying around instead. Once I get a replacement CPU cooler with a backplate, it's going in there. (The bad thing about the generic case is that it has basically nothing for ventilation; I have to run the thing with no side cover or else it's starved for fresh air. The Dell has vent holes on the front.)

Seriously though, my taste in PC cases leans more toward subtle, functional, and beige. (Also cheap, I don't like spending even $50 on a metal box to put computer parts in.) That Cooler Master case looks like it has plenty of ventilation, though.

I always liked the gaming PCs I saw that had the red LEDs inside, and this one seals the deal. I like the window in the side, and you can control the led brightness on the front control panel. I don't know why I like the handles, they just look cool.

I wouldn't be caught dead with a beige computer.

I have a NZXT Hush case and I like the way it looks. I added 2 Cold Cathodes inside and now it lights up half the room.

Either one of those cases you linked will do fine.
