Hi everyone,
This fall I'm taking a University courseon iOS development and because I know there's a lack of availability for University Mac machines, I'd like to get ahead of the curve and figure out where I can do my development for the course.
For some context, I custom built a PC back in February, so all of my components are very new. I have included my build below. You will notice that I have 3 storage devices: A 250GB SSD with windows and my common windows applications loaded on it, a 2TB HDD that I use as a media/steam game storage drive (yes, it was overkill), and a 250GB HDD that I stripped from the pre-built machine I used as my desktop computer prior to this build and is currently completely empty.
| Type | Item |
|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core i5-6500 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor |
| Motherboard | MSI Z170A GAMING M5 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard |
| Memory | G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR4-2400 Memory |
| Memory | G.Skill Ripjaws V Series 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory |
| Storage | Samsung 850 EVO-Series 250GB 2.5" Solid State Drive |
| Storage | Seagate Barracuda 2TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive |
| Storage | Seagate 250GB HDD (Unused) |
| Video Card | MSI GeForce GTX 970 4GB Twin Frozr V Video Card |
| Case | Corsair 500R Black ATX Mid Tower Case |
| Power Supply | EVGA 750W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply |
| Wireless Network Adapter | Gigabyte GC-WB867D-I 802.11a/b/g/n/ac PCI-Express x1 Wi-Fi Adapter |
I'm looking for guidance of how to solve my dilemma of having access to a Mac machine at my convenience. I plan to continue using Windows as my primary operating system, but would like to have access to my own personal Mac machine for when I need to do Mac-exclusive work. Would it be possible and of reasonable difficulty to load OSX onto my unused HDD or would I be better off looking for a cheap Mac machine online?
Thanks!
