Hi guys
This is a good time for me. Last time I built a PC was in 1998 based on a ABIT BH6 and a Celeron 266! Of course, OCP was a great inspiration.
Although OCP was a daily reference for me I never though of joining the forum.
Since 2003 I started using a Mac. I can build a new PC again and look forward to it. The thing is I would really appreciate to be able to run OS X since the hardware will be quite good.
Please be so kind to check this PC Hound part list: https://pchound.com/taYhOU/
Any advice concerning the compatibility to run OS X on it?
Returning to the recommended guidelines for this section, hereby my info.
Many thanks in advance.
