OK, my new computer isn’t that far along, but this is a start. I just found a new case and power supply while I was out for a jog today. Somebody put it out with their recycling. It took a bit of effort to get it home, as I was still about 4km away. It was actually a lot harder to jog with than I would have thought. It needed to be held out in front, which made the box start to feel very heavy very quickly. I ended up running/speed-walking back.

Whenever I start collecting more innars to go along with this box, I am almost certainly building a hackintosh. What is a hackintosh you ask? A hackintosh is a computer with regular PC components, but is slightly modified to run Mac OS. There is a growing community of enthusiasts called OSx86 that is making this a feasible option.

I think that the demand for a mid-range box from Apple is increasing; however, I have never heard rumors about one coming. I am starting to think that they will never deliver a sub $3000 tower.

Anyways, check out my new box:

    I don’t know about that Cinz. I ONLY use computers I build. And it’s like 12 parts, and the only real time is the OS installation.

    I’m doing like 3 for family members next month. For 200$ you can make a NICE, simple machine. People I know aren’t gamers, or video editors so they’ll be able to do most stuff super smoothly.
