Zotac system price

[mosslack]

I now have looked up all of the prices I paid for the items included with the Zotac Hackintosh.  Here is the list, keep in mind this is a system with no optical drive configured.  I usually buy LG or LiteOn, so figure around $20-$25 for one of those if desired.

Case $34.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811121071

PSU $22.50 http://www.cwc-group.com/fspgrat25pos.html

Mobo  $39.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813500058

CPU  $71.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116385

RAM  $25.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16820104019

Video $26.99 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125095

NIC  $12.50 http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16833156139

SL $29.00 http://amzn.to/f3tp8K

Total     $263.95 + shipping

Add $25.99 for another 2 Gb of RAM

Add $20-$25 for a DVD burner

Under $300 is not a bad price for a fully working Hackintosh.  I will be uploading a brand-new video soon showcasing the performance of this system so stay tuned for that!

Uh, hard drive ??? (I think it wasn't listed, but maybe I just missed it?)

Good eye John, you didn't miss it, it was not listed.  Actually the drive that I have the system installed on is a 300 Mb Seagate, which will go with the system as it is, no extra charge. To tell the truth I don't know where I even got this drive, but I found it and it worked, so I used it.  If you want a new hard drive, that can be arranged. My favorite hard drive of choice at the moment is the Hitachi which I installed in the ProjSys2 computer.  It runs about $54 and change.  Thought that was awfully cheap for a complete system.

Okay, here is the video to go along with it.  Nothing fancy, just a quick run through to show that everything works.
