These have arrived... so I need those who ordered to PM me their addresses. At this rate, I'll probably post them out on Monday via AAE. You should have them Tuesday/Wednesday.

Once shipped, I'll PM you back my bank details. I'll update the post with the costs each person needs to pay to cover everything off.

Cheers. :)

Done and done.

Casey: What's the deal with the Hack desktop? How does one acquire such a mac like screen? (Although your icons still look very PC)

Not too bad, although the recycle bin should be down in the "dock" ;) Cool background picture :)

Casey's is a windows desktop with probably something like object dock or similar?

With the proper hack, it's installing Mac OS onto PC hardware :) I've built mine as follows:

GA-EX58-UD5 mobo with i7 920
12G Triple Channel DDR3-1600
Areca ARC-1222 SAS HBA
4x 1TB SATA HDD in RAID10
LG BD/HDDVD Combo

I've installed via iPC first to a 2.5" SATA HDD to get a GUID partitioned disk which is now working fine. I then have then EFI'd the RAID pack and am yet to load the retail DVD to it :)

I see. The second half of that didn't make too much sense to me Feng. :oops:

oh... GUID partion is the type of disk required to boot intel macs.

EFI is the Extensible Firmware Interface. http://en.wikipedia.or​g …nsible_Firmware​_Interface (external link)

The hack allows 'driver extensions' to be loaded into the EFI partition on the RAID pack so you can load a vanilla install without modifying the installation volume :)

I just downloaded it to see how it works. Much better than the Vista/windows tool bar. My desktop is icon free now. Even the recycle bins in the dock where it should be.

um... not a bunch... I think just around the $3k mark? All housed in a Lian Li case with a Real Power Pro 850W PSU.

I did already have a video card mind you (8800 Ultra from my PC) so that saves a bit of $.

Did you want some? I always have spares?
