Hi all,

I went to tonymacx86 and picked out the following build. The only off list part is the graphic card that I upped to 4GB of ram. This is a desktop for the kids to fight over. It will dual boot windows and Mac OS X. Reading all the problems here I'm think "Oh shit! There are a lot of problems!" But I'm trying to stay on the happy path so I don't expect too many issues after the config is done.

Even if the Hackintosh is a fail, as long as it's a good Windows box I'll be happy.

Comments? Suggestions?
