Sorry, putting Mac OS X on a non-apple branded computer is against the EULA. We don't discuss illegal things here, so I'm sorry, but the thread must be closed.


And NEVER buy Western Digital. They suck to no end.

If you truly want to build an Apple system. You have only the following option. Go the Apple on-line store. Select the Mac Pro option and configure it with the processor you want and the number of graphic cards you need to achieve the 6 monitors. Take the default memory and hard drive. Use a third party like Other World Computing increase your disk space and memory needs. After you have done this, you will have any problems with getting supported software updates.
