Hey, guys.
I'm looking at building a computer for the first time, and I'm leaning towards a hackintosh. I've based this on the tonymacx86 November CustoMac Mini guide.
I just need some direction regarding the compatibility of my parts with OSX. My main worry is the motherboard. I've read that this motherboard will not have functional wifi connection, and that I need to purchase an adapter, but PCpartpicker says I won't have enough PCI-E slots. How do I get around this?
Also, I want to be able to boot Windows if necessary. I've added a second SSD to have the two OS's separate. Is that the best way to do this?
Thanks for your help guys.
