OSx86: On the cheap with Cinema Display capabilities

osx86smallTUAW reader Markie put together a fairly substantial step by step How-To set up a low-cost high-performance OSx86 system. He even includes the bonus step of making the setup capable of running a Cinema Display. After tweaking to help performance and benchmarking, the system he creates is on par with or better than a Mac mini, scoring a 44.44 on Xbench. The total cost (before adding a Cinema Display) is $316.72 USD with DVI support. Yes, we know that it isn't as cheap as the 200 buck OSx86 system we posted about before, but it sure wins on performance and classy DVI support.

Once again, we must remind you that we don't condone OSx86 piracy, stealing, or other illegal activities. We simply must point out the scientific value of such a How-To, so you can feel informed.

Tip of the Day

Holding the Command key (aka the Apple key) and pressing Tab will cycle through your open applications. It's easier to Cmd-Tab if you are Copy (Cmd-C) and Pasting (Cmd-V) to and from various applications.
