Sweet, because I'm ordering all of my stuff for this tonight and am going to buy that exact same boardOf course, the key component. Gigabyte ep35-ds3l. Works perfectly vanilla. If you're looking to build a hackintosh, buy that board (I paid $50 from ZZF clearance for a new board) and use the guide for the regular P35-ds3l. They function the same. F5 bios is fine, that's what I use.

Yup. I've got a SATA HDD and DVD burner. Also, I'll be using Kalyway 10.5.4 as my baseline (I've already got it downloaded and burned to a DVD).Good stuff. Here are some tips from my hours of painful trial and error.
Buy SATA everything. You can fiddle with ide and kinda sorta make it work, but its so not worth it - kernel panics everywhere, most distributions won't boot, etc.
Buy a SATA DVD and SATA HD. I used IDE both and had a world of troubles. Bought an SATA HD and used a IDE->USB adapter for the DVD drive and it was smooth sailing. And yes, I used the jmicron ide chameleon patch... still didn't work until I went SATA.
Otherwise, its very straightforward. Don't choose Vanilla on your first try, you need to install a hacked kernel (like sleep) before you do a vanilla install.
Kalyway 10.5.2 is the best I've found for this mobo, and this guide is very helpful:

There's a better guide (called Leopard Soup) but I can't find it right now.
The install is super easy and faster than an XP install. Mine took about 15 minutes from disk in the drive, first boot to an up and running Leopard desktop. I used Nvinject and Nvinstaller to get my graphics card up and running perfectly and everything is gravy.
I'm typically that kind of person, too. Like I said though, if I notice it being a little slow, I have no problem dropping $150 on a new card.I feel ya. I shouldn't have bought the 8800gt but I didn't like how the dock was sluggish to bounce with the 8600gt on my Macbook Pro. I don't do anything that uses the gfx card except kinda Photoshop, but not enough to justify anything like this.
So I spent $150 to get a smooth dock. Worth it? Yep.
vischo- is that a dual monitor arm connected to a glass desk?

yeah looks somehow ^^ wanna know 2 !
Ah, I see. I have thought about getting a monitor arm but I'm guessing it wouldn't work with my glass desk.
(Above) What size monitors are those to LCDs?
I had my monitor arms on a glass desk for a few months and nothing broke.
Rifle and Katanas... nice arsenal for home defense!!!

A lot of people use this for cable management on their Jerkers, Galants, etc.: http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/products/50035115For all those who have posted their Ikea Jerker set ups. Do you have any tips on wiring? I just picked up a Jerker for $80 CDN and it was in mint condition, now I need to go about hiding my wiring.
I have seen lots of clean Jerker set ups here and was hoping to get some tips.
Any help is appreciated.
Cheers
