1
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:13,360
with its factory tuning and data center dna an Intel 730 series SSD is an

2
00:00:11,599 --> 00:00:18,400
amazing choice for gamers and performance enthusiasts

3
00:00:15,280 --> 00:00:21,039
welcome to our mac pro killer hackintosh

4
00:00:18,400 --> 00:00:25,600
guide the goal here was to build a video editing or general content creation

5
00:00:23,199 --> 00:00:31,760
machine that runs os 10 mavericks and delivers similar raw performance and

6
00:00:28,640 --> 00:00:35,040
low noise operation to a premium 8 core

7
00:00:31,760 --> 00:00:37,040
mac pro but at a much lower price so

8
00:00:35,040 --> 00:00:42,079
let's open this right off the bat with the answer to the big question why would

9
00:00:39,600 --> 00:00:47,039
you want to build a hackintosh we all know at least the folks who are somewhat

10
00:00:44,160 --> 00:00:51,840
paying attention know that spec for spec hardware for hardware if you actually

11
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:56,480
tried to build the exact same thing apple pcs are fairly price competitive

12
00:00:54,399 --> 00:01:01,600
these days with an equivalent pc so why not just buy an apple well couple of

13
00:00:58,320 --> 00:01:04,159
reasons number one is to save money as i

14
00:01:01,600 --> 00:01:08,880
just mentioned like four seconds ago buying the same hardware apple is using

15
00:01:06,240 --> 00:01:13,520
to build a pc will usually yield a similar pricing but the trick is that

16
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:17,600
apple's hardware choices are not always the best bang for the buck and by

17
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:22,320
choosing completely different hardware similar performance can sometimes be

18
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:25,759
achieved for much cheaper especially if you're willing to get into a little

19
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:30,240
overclocking number two is that apple doesn't always design their hardware

20
00:01:27,680 --> 00:01:35,439
with upgradability in mind and by adding extra pci express cards and better

21
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:39,920
hardware over time the life of a system can be significantly extended something

22
00:01:37,759 --> 00:01:43,680
you can't do with RAM solder to your motherboard or a complete absence of

23
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:51,119
internal storage and pci express expansion number three is that you might just be a

24
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,640
tinkerer who also appreciates os 10 and

25
00:01:51,119 --> 00:01:56,479
just plain old wants to do it in which case rock on brother

26
00:01:54,560 --> 00:02:01,040
now that's not to say that hackintoshing doesn't come with challenges you need to

27
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:07,119
carefully select your hardware ahead of time like seriously carefully sometimes

28
00:02:03,920 --> 00:02:09,520
even video card firmware revisions or

29
00:02:07,119 --> 00:02:14,160
motherboard BIOS updates can cause problems and even then while support for

30
00:02:11,920 --> 00:02:18,000
stuff like wireless and onboard sound is much better now than it was in the early

31
00:02:15,760 --> 00:02:22,000
days you might still not be able to get certain stuff like advanced CPU power

32
00:02:19,920 --> 00:02:26,000
management features working that last bit is actually an issue we're still

33
00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:30,000
having on this particular machine but ive hackintoshing is still in early

34
00:02:28,080 --> 00:02:33,840
stages and there are actually other boards it works on so i'd be surprised

35
00:02:32,160 --> 00:02:37,760
if that last issue doesn't get resolved for our rig at some point here so let's

36
00:02:35,920 --> 00:02:43,519
walk through the rationale of our parts choices we went with a six core core i7

37
00:02:40,319 --> 00:02:45,440
4930k this chip at stock speeds is about

38
00:02:43,519 --> 00:02:49,760
equivalent to the six cores neon that's available for the mac pro xeon

39
00:02:47,599 --> 00:02:53,920
advantages include support for ecc registered memory dimms an essential

40
00:02:51,840 --> 00:02:58,239
feature on servers and suggested on workstations but something that many

41
00:02:55,599 --> 00:03:02,720
folks can live without and theoretically tighter quality control but frankly

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:07,360
anything that says Intel on the box could say tighter qc and i would believe

43
00:03:04,879 --> 00:03:14,800
it anyway for RAM we went with the highest performance most compatible just

44
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:19,519
best 64 gig ddr3 2400 megahertz kit that

45
00:03:14,800 --> 00:03:21,680
we could find g skills rip jaw z 8x8 kit

46
00:03:19,519 --> 00:03:27,440
even though we knew we'd end up running it at 1866 or 2133 on this particular

47
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:32,480
board running it below spec gives us peace of mind that we're not even

48
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:37,200
pushing the rated limits of it so we should be in pretty good shape there our

49
00:03:34,159 --> 00:03:39,040
motherboard is a Gigabyte x79 up4

50
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:42,720
Gigabyte boards are famous for being relatively easy to get going in

51
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:45,440
hackintosh's and this one ended up being fairly straightforward other than the

52
00:03:44,159 --> 00:03:50,799
power management thing that's still being worked on our video card is a gtx

53
00:03:48,159 --> 00:03:55,200
780 reference card and we chose it for its excellent compute performance and

54
00:03:52,959 --> 00:03:59,120
great acoustics remember that goal of this system you're going to want to

55
00:03:57,200 --> 00:04:02,799
avoid non-reference cards for the most part unless you can find evidence that

56
00:04:00,879 --> 00:04:06,239
they are specifically supported or that they can at least be successfully

57
00:04:04,319 --> 00:04:10,319
flashed with the BIOS of a card that does work and GPU support is something

58
00:04:08,560 --> 00:04:13,040
that changes frequently so make sure to double check before clicking that buy

59
00:04:12,239 --> 00:04:19,199
button other silence optimized components in the system include our ax860i power

60
00:04:17,359 --> 00:04:24,960
supply that only runs the fan under medium to heavy system load our nhu 12s

61
00:04:21,919 --> 00:04:28,880
CPU cooler from Noctua our nf f12 case

62
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:32,000
fans also from Noctua and our nzxt h440

63
00:04:28,880 --> 00:04:34,080
case with this tower CPU cooling setup

64
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:38,160
we avoid needing the loud fans that come with our RAM to keep them cool and by

65
00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:43,680
switching all the case fans to undervolted Noctua fans for the h440 we

66
00:04:41,199 --> 00:04:49,040
are able to achieve near silence for our system just like the mac pro

67
00:04:46,080 --> 00:04:54,960
finally the SSD was actually a component that i waffled on a fair bit but i ended

68
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:57,360
up going with a samsung 840 evo 500 gig

69
00:04:54,960 --> 00:05:00,880
because i wanted capacity enough for some growing room so it's not like you

70
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:05,919
download a couple videos and photos off the internet and boom your drives full

71
00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:09,840
but i actually didn't care that much about performance beyond

72
00:05:07,680 --> 00:05:14,880
making sure i wasn't using magnetic media for my boot drive

73
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:17,520
this choice was based on my assumption

74
00:05:14,880 --> 00:05:22,560
that serious content creators are not doing real work on an SSD no not even a

75
00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:25,840
one terabyte one in spite of apple's marketing about how fast it is and how

76
00:05:24,000 --> 00:05:31,039
great it is for working on 4k video because it's just not enough space

77
00:05:27,759 --> 00:05:33,120
anyway and whether those professionals

78
00:05:31,039 --> 00:05:37,440
want to expand the internal storage of the machine with a raid array or build a

79
00:05:35,280 --> 00:05:42,080
nas they're going to be keeping their massive images and raw 4k footage

80
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:47,039
somewhere else anyway so the SSD just needs to be fast enough to run the os

81
00:05:44,639 --> 00:05:50,720
and applications so with that in my head even though there are tons of other

82
00:05:49,120 --> 00:05:55,199
storage options available especially because this system actually has storage

83
00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:58,400
options i chose an SSD with middling performance decent background garbage

84
00:05:57,120 --> 00:06:03,919
collection an excellent price to performance to

85
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:05,520
capacity ratio so without further ado

86
00:06:03,919 --> 00:06:10,319
get yourselves a mac because you'll need one to create

87
00:06:08,000 --> 00:06:16,080
your bootable media as well as a couple of usb drives one for the actual os

88
00:06:13,919 --> 00:06:20,000
installation and one for like drivers and stuff just to have that handy and

89
00:06:18,080 --> 00:06:24,800
i'm gonna hand off to luke to show you how to install os 10 mavericks

90
00:06:22,720 --> 00:06:27,759
on a pc first you're going to want to download

91
00:06:26,000 --> 00:06:30,960
os x mavericks this will come from the apple website and can only be downloaded

92
00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:36,160
on a mac next you're going to want to download my hack this should be done on the same

93
00:06:33,520 --> 00:06:39,759
computer that you downloaded os x on now go into your downloads folder and

94
00:06:37,840 --> 00:06:43,360
open the myhack.dmg accept the terms and conditions or else

95
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:46,720
it won't work go to your applications folder and drag

96
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:52,160
and drop the icon that's on the desktop for myhack into the applications folder

97
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:56,479
then double click the myhack symbol in the application window

98
00:06:54,479 --> 00:07:03,000
select open on the popup type in your password

99
00:06:58,800 --> 00:07:03,000
select create os x installer

100
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:07,360
let it know which version of osx you want to install

101
00:07:08,639 --> 00:07:15,120
select the drive you want to install it on that should be a flash drive

102
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:18,400
and just tell it to scan your system to find os x considering you downloaded it

103
00:07:17,039 --> 00:07:22,400
earlier it'll find it right away and then just click ok now you've got quite a way ahead of you

104
00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:24,800
this will take a little while just a heads up

105
00:07:25,599 --> 00:07:30,960
near the end of the my hack installation process it'll ask you if you want to

106
00:07:28,880 --> 00:07:34,960
patch the installer for mbr support the answer that is no you should be

107
00:07:32,319 --> 00:07:39,759
installing your os x on a guid partition type and you won't need the mbr support

108
00:07:37,520 --> 00:07:43,599
because of that next you want to download your

109
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:47,360
motherboards dmg directly off of dev's website you can do that by going to the

110
00:07:45,120 --> 00:07:50,800
x79 dmg downloads page and selecting the manufacturer for your motherboard

111
00:07:49,599 --> 00:07:58,000
once you're there you're going to scroll down and select the actual model of your motherboard for this example we're using

112
00:07:54,240 --> 00:08:00,400
a ga x79 up4 so we'll download that dmg

113
00:07:58,000 --> 00:08:03,840
right now next you're going to want to take that

114
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:07,120
dmg you just downloaded and move it to a flash drive for later use

115
00:08:05,919 --> 00:08:10,639
next you're going to want to boot onto that flash drive that you were just setting up

116
00:08:09,520 --> 00:08:14,800
under startup volume you're going to want to select my hack install disk and

117
00:08:12,879 --> 00:08:22,879
then for boot flags if you're running lga 2011 or lga 1366 you're gonna run

118
00:08:18,319 --> 00:08:25,440
dash v space cpus equal one space npci

119
00:08:22,879 --> 00:08:32,240
equals zero x 2000. if you're running lga 1150 or 1155 you're gonna run one uh

120
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:36,080
dash v and pci equals zero x2 000 no need for that cpus equal one flag you

121
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:40,320
will also need unique parameters depending on what graphics card you have

122
00:08:37,680 --> 00:08:46,399
so if you have an AMD 6800 series card or an NVIDIA gtx 500 series card or

123
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:49,040
NVIDIA 610 or 650 ti you will need to

124
00:08:46,399 --> 00:08:56,000
use the parameter graphics enabler equal yes if you have an AMD 7000 series plus

125
00:08:52,399 --> 00:08:59,120
card or an NVIDIA gtx 660 plus or an

126
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:03,600
NVIDIA gtx 760 plus you'll need to use

127
00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:03,600
the graphics enabler equals no flag

128
00:09:06,560 --> 00:09:14,240
once the beach ball finally stops spinning you're going to select your preferred language

129
00:09:11,600 --> 00:09:17,600
and then go to the utilities tab disk utility

130
00:09:16,080 --> 00:09:22,480
select the hard drive or SSD that you want to install a macOS x onto

131
00:09:20,560 --> 00:09:25,839
for format you're going to use macOS extended journaled name it whatever you

132
00:09:24,800 --> 00:09:30,320
want i name it macdrive and then click erase

133
00:09:32,399 --> 00:09:37,839
once it's done erasing you can simply close this window

134
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,959
and then click continue agree to the terms and conditions so you

135
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:43,930
can actually do anything select that drive that we just set up

136
00:09:42,640 --> 00:09:46,240
and click install

137
00:09:46,240 --> 00:09:52,640
near the end of your osx mavericks install hack will pop up asking you

138
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:56,480
about extra folders completely ignore this popup do not click on it do not

139
00:09:54,399 --> 00:10:00,800
click on anything just hard restart the computer

140
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:04,640
if you run into a halt on system uptime in nanoseconds in verbose mode i would

141
00:10:03,279 --> 00:10:07,600
recommend going into your BIOS and resetting to default so the only time i

142
00:10:06,320 --> 00:10:11,519
actually ran into this problem was when i was overclocking but as some of you

143
00:10:09,519 --> 00:10:14,720
might be running this setup on a system that you've had before which might be

144
00:10:12,720 --> 00:10:18,560
overclocked this is just a heads up this also applies later in the video when we

145
00:10:16,640 --> 00:10:21,680
talk about overclocking all right now that we've done the initial install

146
00:10:20,399 --> 00:10:27,600
we're ready to actually boot onto the drive so you're going to want to select the startup volume as your mac drive and

147
00:10:25,519 --> 00:10:30,480
then enter the same parameter flags as you did when you first use the

148
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:34,480
installation disk to do the initial setup

149
00:10:32,959 --> 00:10:38,320
all right now you can relax a little bit you're in the easy mode part now you

150
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:41,200
just got to set up your user account and then you're good to go after that you're

151
00:10:40,079 --> 00:10:47,760
going to want to select my computer does not connect to the internet because you have no drivers right now so it's not

152
00:10:44,240 --> 00:10:49,120
going to connect to the internet anyways

153
00:10:47,760 --> 00:10:53,839
other than that everything's pretty much up to you until we get into the operating system

154
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:58,240
now you're going to want to grab that flash drive we put the dmg on and

155
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:04,160
extract the dmg next you're going to want to go into files tools and then run

156
00:11:01,200 --> 00:11:07,760
kext helper b7 going back to your motherboard

157
00:11:05,600 --> 00:11:10,480
manufacturer and then your then the text folder inside of there you're going to

158
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:16,959
want to grab all the kecks that are there move them to the kext helper 0.7

159
00:11:13,839 --> 00:11:20,640
application type in your password

160
00:11:16,959 --> 00:11:22,480
and then just click easy install

161
00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:26,000
ignore the reboot instruction you do not want to reboot at

162
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:30,880
this point this error message is fine it's saying that it's from an

163
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:32,480
unidentified developer but it's loading

164
00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:35,839
anyways so it's okay don't worry about it again just ignore the reboot

165
00:11:34,800 --> 00:11:42,720
next you're going to want to go into your chameleon folder once inside you're going to want to drag the extra folder

166
00:11:39,680 --> 00:11:44,320
into the macintosh hd shortcut and click

167
00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:47,279
authenticate and then type in your password

168
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:51,440
next you're going to want to go into the files directory and then into your

169
00:11:49,279 --> 00:11:55,760
motherboard manufacturers folder after that you'll go into the model

170
00:11:53,120 --> 00:11:58,640
number of your motherboard into the ssdt folder and then into the respective

171
00:11:57,120 --> 00:12:04,480
manufacture of your graphics cards folder then you have to open up your macintosh

172
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:08,000
hd link that we opened earlier and then go into that extras folder that you

173
00:12:05,920 --> 00:12:12,560
dragged into there previously and move the ssdt file into that extra folder

174
00:12:13,440 --> 00:12:18,959
now we get to install the bootloader so you're going to want to go into the flash drive that you used to install

175
00:12:17,279 --> 00:12:22,959
your operating system and then open the my hack shortcut once that's open you

176
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:26,480
should type in your password select install chameleon you're going to

177
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:29,440
want to install it to root which is just the forward slash

178
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:34,639
and it should be done very quickly now that you've installed the majority

179
00:12:33,120 --> 00:12:38,560
of your drivers and you have your bootloader installed you can actually

180
00:12:36,399 --> 00:12:41,440
restart your system you don't have to boot it up with any parameters you just

181
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:46,480
have to make sure that you select your mac drive and you boot there but i do

182
00:12:44,399 --> 00:12:50,079
recommend using verbose mode also known as dash v in the parameter sector so

183
00:12:48,959 --> 00:12:56,000
that you can actually see everything that's going on and see what it's halting on if it fails to boot

184
00:12:54,480 --> 00:12:58,720
now you're going to want to identify what audio patch you need you can do

185
00:12:57,600 --> 00:13:04,560
this by going to your motherboard's manufacturer's website going to the specifications and checking out the

186
00:13:02,560 --> 00:13:09,360
audio codec that it uses for us it is a real tech alc alc892 codec next we're

187
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:12,800
going to use that handy dandy dmg that we downloaded earlier to install the

188
00:13:10,880 --> 00:13:16,320
other drivers although this time we're going to go into

189
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:20,639
files and then the manufacturer of our motherboards folder and then into kext

190
00:13:18,480 --> 00:13:24,800
again but instead of using the kex we'll use the safari download links in this

191
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:27,760
case all we need is alc892 although i do download all of them

192
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:32,639
once they're downloaded you're just going to want to go into the folder of the one that lines up with the codec

193
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:37,040
that your motherboard uses so in this case again alc892

194
00:13:35,440 --> 00:13:43,360
there are many command files within this patch folder you're going to have to find the one whose last numerics within

195
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:47,839
the name line up with the last numerics in the codec that your motherboard uses

196
00:13:45,200 --> 00:13:50,880
so in this case 9 after running this command file security

197
00:13:49,600 --> 00:13:56,399
is gonna freak out you're gonna have to allow it to run the script you can do that by going to system preferences

198
00:13:54,000 --> 00:14:00,160
security and privacy and clicking open anyway

199
00:13:58,399 --> 00:14:03,680
once the command window opens up type your password and press enter and then

200
00:14:02,240 --> 00:14:08,639
you're good to go you'll need a restart at this point for audio to actually start working and you can restart now as

201
00:14:07,279 --> 00:14:12,959
you've installed your bootloader and all your other drivers

202
00:14:11,360 --> 00:14:16,320
overclocking this platform is pretty standard fare and with minimal

203
00:14:14,399 --> 00:14:20,560
overvolting and without pushing it too hard we were able to get the CPU to 4.2

204
00:14:18,320 --> 00:14:24,240
gigahertz and the memory to 1866 megahertz

205
00:14:22,320 --> 00:14:28,560
so with all that fun stuff out of the way it's time to find out how the

206
00:14:26,079 --> 00:14:32,720
machine actually stacks up to a real mac pro so since neither luke nor i are

207
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:37,839
really mac guys and we don't even know like what are the benchmarks of choice

208
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:40,880
for for apple folks we decided to just you know

209
00:14:38,639 --> 00:14:46,000
find another mac pro review in this case we went with mkbhd's video review of his

210
00:14:43,519 --> 00:14:50,560
acor mac pro and run the same suite of benchmarks and marcus was even kind

211
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:55,440
enough to allow us to include his results in our review for easy

212
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:58,399
comparison so there you go guys we've had these overlaying here this gives you

213
00:14:57,279 --> 00:15:05,519
some idea of how closely our hackintosh performs

214
00:15:02,399 --> 00:15:08,320
to an acor mac pro in spite of the

215
00:15:05,519 --> 00:15:15,120
dramatic difference in price between our configuration and marcus's but with the

216
00:15:12,639 --> 00:15:20,800
raw performance comparison between our admittedly overclocked consumer grade

217
00:15:18,480 --> 00:15:25,760
hackintosh and marcus brownlee's acor mac pro out of the way i want to be the

218
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:31,279
first to point out that this is not an apples to apples comparison so to speak

219
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:37,279
our machine is desktop grade it's consumer grade and the mac pro is

220
00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:42,480
workstation grade hardware but the beauty of a hackintosh is that we

221
00:15:39,839 --> 00:15:47,680
can choose whether or not to spend the extra money that workstation grade

222
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:50,160
hardware costs to make the machine more

223
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:55,600
mac pro like one big difference is the CPU we saved a ton of money going with a

224
00:15:52,240 --> 00:15:57,279
core i7 but xeon chips will actually run

225
00:15:55,600 --> 00:16:01,519
in a variety of atx motherboards we could have bought one of those and ecc

226
00:15:59,519 --> 00:16:05,839
memory can then be used with them if we thought that that was necessary for this

227
00:16:03,199 --> 00:16:11,839
config another big difference is the gpus but other than for cad or serious

228
00:16:09,759 --> 00:16:18,399
3d rendering i would argue that a workstation grade GPU is a luxury not a

229
00:16:15,519 --> 00:16:23,120
necessity and anyway you could once again put a quadro in the hackintosh if

230
00:16:20,959 --> 00:16:26,560
you really felt like it one more thing is that our SSD solution i've mentioned

231
00:16:25,360 --> 00:16:32,000
this before but i'm going to mention it again is really nothing special compared

232
00:16:28,959 --> 00:16:33,680
to apple's pci express solution but

233
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:38,160
as we saw it didn't affect our benchmarks much anyway since most things

234
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:42,560
really aren't that i o limited and we could always chuck a few in there in

235
00:16:40,079 --> 00:16:47,040
raid if we felt like it but like i said before an actual content creation pro

236
00:16:45,199 --> 00:16:54,399
will likely be editing off a storage array connected via 10gb Ethernet usb 3

237
00:16:50,800 --> 00:16:57,040
or Thunderbolt anyway which is a perfect

238
00:16:54,399 --> 00:17:02,800
segue into the elephant in the room our hackintosh lacks the mac pro's six

239
00:17:00,160 --> 00:17:07,039
Thunderbolt expansion ports your opinion may differ but

240
00:17:04,640 --> 00:17:11,760
ultimately i believe it's okay we sacrificed those ports yes but we gained

241
00:17:09,919 --> 00:17:17,600
pci express slots that will give us expansion to 10 gigabit usb 3 if needed

242
00:17:14,799 --> 00:17:22,400
in the future and even allow us to set up more exotic solutions i mean for the

243
00:17:20,240 --> 00:17:26,959
money that we saved we could build a wicked nas with a bunch of hard drives a

244
00:17:24,799 --> 00:17:30,880
high performance raid card and a 10 gigabit Ethernet connection then we

245
00:17:29,039 --> 00:17:35,919
could grab a 10 gigabit Ethernet switch and an adapter for our pc and then we've

246
00:17:33,440 --> 00:17:40,320
created a storage solution that unlike a Thunderbolt enclosure which is

247
00:17:37,440 --> 00:17:44,960
accessible to one pc is accessible to several and offers much more flexibility

248
00:17:43,039 --> 00:17:49,360
the flip side of which is of course just like the hackintosh that it requires

249
00:17:46,880 --> 00:17:54,080
more tinkering speaking of tinkering i would like to take this opportunity to

250
00:17:51,120 --> 00:17:59,039
give a big thanks to andrew there's going to be a link to his website here

251
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:01,440
he helped us out a lot and asked me to

252
00:17:59,039 --> 00:18:05,440
reinforce that no hackintosh guide is meant to be the be-all and end-all and

253
00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:09,679
unless you're building this exact machine with this exact os you'll very

254
00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:14,720
likely need a bit of assistance and that's okay the good news is that thanks

255
00:18:12,559 --> 00:18:19,679
to andrew and others like him who he asked me to credit here in this video

256
00:18:17,039 --> 00:18:23,679
help is out there and you can reach out to those guys who are members of this

257
00:18:21,520 --> 00:18:27,600
great community if you you know your appetite was wedded by

258
00:18:25,600 --> 00:18:31,840
this video and you really want to set out and make yourself a hackintosh and

259
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:34,720
if you do go for it have fun we certainly did

260
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:39,280
although we just really don't know what to do with the machine now since neither of us are really care that much about os

261
00:18:37,600 --> 00:18:43,919
x maybe let me know guys if you think i should if i should legitimately try and

262
00:18:41,280 --> 00:18:47,120
use it for a little while i would be as as my favorite game reviewer yahtzee

263
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:50,799
would say it's going to be about like watching a cat try to fly a kite

264
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:55,200
so we'll see anyway guys like this video if you liked

265
00:18:53,679 --> 00:18:58,799
it dislike it if you disliked it you'll find a link to the parts that we used

266
00:18:57,280 --> 00:19:02,720
and a discussion thread on the Linus tech tips form in the video description

267
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:05,919
uh you'll also find a support link with options to buy t-shirts give us a

268
00:19:04,480 --> 00:19:09,919
monthly contribution to help us keep making videos and even do stuff that's

269
00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:13,280
as simple as changing your amazon bookmark to one with our affiliate code

270
00:19:11,679 --> 00:19:16,880
so we get credit every time you buy any random stuff so please do check that out

271
00:19:15,200 --> 00:19:22,390
as well thank you for watching and as always don't forget to subscribe to Linus tech tips for unboxings reviews
