Great Show Mr Sherbar. Can't wait to see it working.

[@MilesShebar]

I uploaded my Benchmark video giving it some stress tests, check that out if you're interested.

[@Jarl_69]

The editing made the video great

[@MilesShebar]

Thank you so much!

[@TheHacker0007]

the i7 with 16Gb of ram is going to be sweet for video editing :)

[@smooooth_]

Word of the Day: Behemoth

[@MilesShebar]

truly

[@radmaster6470]

loving your editing. looking forward to more videos! great work

[@MilesShebar]

Thanks so much!

[@BTechTalk]

Looks great, very similar to my build! :D

[@MilesShebar]

thanks Ben!

[@technologycrazy]

Love the video editing. Great job! Why no liquid cooling though?

[@MilesShebar]

Good question - I didn't go the liquid cooling route mainly because of stability. I've read horror stories on amazon about how just a small leak can mess up your whole system, and after finding out that air can provide very similar results I went with that.

[@HudsonWislerYT]

Miles Shebar With a closed loop system, it will never leak. And if by some terrible mishap it does, most manufacturers cover the damage.

[@macintosh8328]

Props to your video editing! Loved it. Great Rig too!

[@MilesShebar]

thank you! so glad you liked.

[@YokimTheBoy]

Great video, cool editing.. :D

[@MilesShebar]

thanks man!

[@sparta944]

Rich parents look fun.

[@scornofx]

good job on first try it took me 3 days to get mine to 100% working with the parts i already had

[@MilesShebar]

That was what building my first hack was like, too! It can be a real struggle sometimes but that makes it even more rewarding at the end!

[@michaelgordon2860]

Miles Shebar I saw this video and Im very interested in doing the same type build for a new editing station which I use Adobe Creative Suite and the internet pretty much the entire time. Have you had any problems with it since you have built it or will it always run pretty smoothly and be a workhorse? My brother in law works with computers for a living so I do have some sort of tech support if needed.

[@MilesShebar]

Michael Gordon Hey, I've had no problems on this! It's being used right now as a professional editing rig with Avid but it runs the Creative Suite very well. As long as you have your brother in law and the internet and choose recommended parts you should be totally fine. Sorry for the long time to respond!

[@dizzyshimmy]

Here's the music if anyone is wondering (great taste in music Miles!): Odesza - Sun Models ft. Madelyn Grant, Panama - Always (Wave Racer remix).

[@MilesShebar]

Thanks! I'll add that into the description - there's a credits for all the music but it's too near the end.

[@meatintaco2002]

This video should be called "THE UNBOXING"

[@cooldaddypmg]

watching this makes me wanna try...

[@MilesShebar]

You should! Very rewarding and fun.

[@HShango]

dude congratz man

[@MilesShebar]

thank you!

[@Nickolii]

Hey, Im going to be building a computer almost exactly like this one and i have a question, what boot flags did you use? Or did you use any? Also really nice video, Helped me a lot. :D

[@MilesShebar]

Hey Nicolas, this build is suuuuuuper super supported with the Tonymac tools. As a result you don't really need any boot flags. I always boot with -v a couple times after the install just to check that everything's working but that's pretty much it.

[@Nickolii]

Alright, Sweet that makes it even easier for my first build. :D Thanks!

[@Nickolii]

Oh hey one more question... This board does support over clocking correct?

[@MilesShebar]

Yes, and the processor is unlocked as well. Should be good to go!

[@Nickolii]

Ok... Last question I promise, What do you use to edit your videos?

[@belona31]

Hi sorry I'm so late but I'm thinking about building a hackintosh for my audio production & I was trying to see do you think a 1tb evo ssd would work stealthy? Also did your motherboard work right out the box or do you suggest I go with another? Your advice would be greatly appreciated thanks for the video man it rlly gave me an idea of which way I would like to go

[@ninjaman58]

can it handle FCPX?

[@SmileMrKyle]

Are these songs free to use on KZbin or did you get permission/ pay to use them?

[@SuperOnlyP]

How much does it cost to build a custom MAC like this? Could you please give me more detail about this ? I need to buy one for my work. thx

[@MilesShebar]

Hey Phong- totally depends on the quality of the parts but this (a very high end rig) cost about $1800). You can easily build a lower spec one for as low as 300-400. Totally depends.

[@zimonslot]

How quiet is it? As quiet as an MBP? Can you use any processor cooling fan you wish?

[@MilesShebar]

I used the HAF 912, and any fan that will fit an 1155 CPU works! It's extremely quiet - you have to press your ear against it to hear it.

[@seasonfilms9375]

I'm currently purchasing parts. My motherboard will be the Gigabyte z87 (Orange one) , thermaltake water-cooled system, I7 Haswell... I can't make up my mind on the power supply. The common blackintosh guide says to buy the thermaltake tr 700w 80 plus power supply. I can't find this one anywhere. Does it really matter? Given the parts I've already ordered? Will one brand not fit right with what I'm already getting?

[@MilesShebar]

Won't matter at all. Corsair PSUs have always worked for me but it really doesn't matter. Just be sure your PSU is from a good reputable company so that it doesn't burst into flame!

[@seasonfilms9375]

Ok thanks for the quick response!

[@pr0tolino]

How much it cost all those components ??

[@MilesShebar]

I put a full part list in the video description! Enjoy!

[@BneiAnusim]

Hey Miles what was the total cost of the Behemoth?

[@MilesShebar]

Hey man! Total cost w/US tax was ~$1800.

[@dwaynedibley1396]

dat cable managment

[@MusicallyTalented753]

I know this isn't the point of the video at all, but I lost it at "dam"

[@MilesShebar]

hackintoshes 4 hoover

[@ArturoChavezGamer]

Hey bro , I'm going to built a Hackintosh just like yours and I want to know your multi beast configuration , you know , drivers , sound , and all of that pleaseeee :D . Please respond this as soon as possible . Greetings from Peru :D

[@ArturoChavezGamer]

I wanna know your BIOS config before boot os x mavericks ,for Multibeast , I wanna know if you selected (DSDT free) or (DSDT ), your Audio config , graphics , misc , network system, etc . I will be so grateful if you answer all this question. I love your videos by the way. :D

[@MilesShebar]

Arturo Chavez Ok Arturo! This is a dsdt-free board, Audio was the ALC898, Graphics are native with the GPU, networking we used the Intel ethernet codec, and I didn't have to change anything in System (use the default SMBios of MacPro3,1) or Misc. Glad you like my stuff and good luck!

[@ArturoChavezGamer]

Thank you so much !! :)

[@ArturoChavezGamer]

Miles Shebar Hey man , I can´t do it , every time it boots I have a Kernel panic :( , This is my hardware : -Motherboard Gigabyte GA-Z97X-UD3H -Geforce GTX 760 4GB - 8GB RAM HYPERX (1 slot) -Intel core i5 4440 -1tb seagate HDD -LG DVD player I selected the DSDT-free option , please help me , I hate windows xD

[@SkorpoTv]

can i see the benchmarks for this behemoth lol

[@MilesShebar]

Yes, the video is up!

[@Licardo7]

dat cable management doe

[@SawceGod]

greattt video bruh (HACKINTOSHES 4 HOOVR

[@incredabox]

Hey Miles, I build almost the same computer as yours but with another case, power supply and ram. I am using the Corsair CS750M power supply, but when i turn the motherboard on it will run for a second and then stops followed by 2 ticks. Can you please help me?

[@MilesShebar]

Hey dude - what does the mobo error code say? Have you posted on the Tonymac forums? Sounds like it might be a power issue. Check that all power cables (24-pin and cpu 8-pin) are plugged into the mobo.

[@incredabox]

Tnx for the reply it was something weird with the ram it works smoothly now, BTW really nice video keep up!

[@incredabox]

Miles Shebar also when i boot from USB it says the power management is incomplete or unsupported

[@incredabox]

Hey miles, i fixed the problem it was the dumbest mistake ever... i forgot to install the stand off's so i got power issues

[@MilesShebar]

Hey dude, sorry I never got back to you -- so glad you figured it out! I always get tripped up on one stupid error every time I build a hackintosh no matter how many I build.

[@MiningMadness0029]

How much did this all cost 0_o

[@MilesShebar]

There's a full build description, partslist and pricing in the description should you be at all curious :3 Remember this build was also for a client so I was working off their budget, not mine! I'm still using the Ivy hack most of my videos have been about.

[@MiningMadness0029]

I made the face for no reason. And what was their budget?

[@MilesShebar]

About $1800.

[@MiningMadness0029]

Ok thanks

[@WayneVaughan]

Does bootcamp work?

[@MilesShebar]

Hey Wayne- if you're talking about dual boot with Windows then all you need to do is partition your main drive and throw Windows on the other end, or if you're using 2 HDDs, you can just plug them both into the board and set priorities in the BIOS - no bootcamp needed!

[@WayneVaughan]

I run Windows in VMware Fusion. I'm considering a Hackintosh, but I'm worried about being able to reliably run Windows and OSX at the same time. I'm also concerned about overall stability. Any input from you would be appreciated.

[@MilesShebar]

Wayne Vaughan I run a dual boot system at home (see my Ivy Bridge videos) where I have two boot drives, one with OSX and one with Windows, and I find those to be a lot easier than partition setups. I'd advise you buy a separate HDD for each OS, and use Tonymac's Chimera bootloader to choose between them (this means setting the Hackintosh HDD as first priority in the BIOS. Let me know if you need any more help!
