Selecting the right hardware is the MAIN factor that divides success and failure. This tutorial has now been superseded by a new one on how to install Snow Leopard on PC hardware. I've got some instructions on this site, but no video... yet. @Geoffrey: thanks for the great comment. Most Nvidia cards are widely supported, do search on Google and you'll find a long list of compatible cards. Software updates will not work as it could break your installation. If you look for the instructions I gave on Snow Leopard, that works fine with official software updates.

That, and parts must be really cheap in Malaysia. I’m finding as I’m looking for these components that they’ve been discontinued. That, and parts must be really cheap in Malaysia.

I'm interested in building an identical machine but only if it's able to easily handle HD footage and render quickly. My friend has a quad-core PC laptop and he rendered a true HD 30-second sequence in After Effects in 30 seconds. Are you able to see those kinds of results consistently with your Hack? @ TheBackpackr:

There's been a flood of comments and not enough time to reply. As for questions regarding whether this motherboard will work or not, I cannot answer - as I don't have all those motherboards. You'll have to give it a try and see, that's how I learnt. As for the Leo4All version, grab the latest - that should be the most updated and have the most drivers available. I got the 10.5.2 version, as it was a year ago since I made the video. Hi everyone, sorry for not replying earlier. There’s been a flood of comments and not enough time to reply.
