$400 Hackintosh rig with 10.5.4

Yeah, that deal on the e7200 may push me over the top.

One more question: I know IDE isn't supported in Hack, and that's cool, but could I dual-boot from another IDE drive? Or does just having one plugged in screw with things?

EDIT: Would the 30% cashback feature from ebay be a good place to get that E35 board? Seems like it'd be around $60. That's a great deal. Is there really any reason to get the newer one? Is that on ebay BIN from a reputable dealer anywhere?

I got a few of the P35 boards with the cashback last time. Macpalace7 is a reputable dealer, I've bought a handful from him.

When IDE was plugged in on my buddy's system, it had had major problems. Unplugged, it worked perfectly. We tested it over and over again, same issues everytime. I wouldn't use an IDE drive period. Get an IDE-to-SATA adapter or a USB enclosure if you want to use it with a Hackintosh.

I have an IDE DVD drive. It installs hack fine and it reads fine. Burning messes things up though.
