Rate it! On how good of a OS X system it is! Depending on what things worked straight out of the box, and what didn't, or what still doesn't

I believe my comp would be the perfect hackmac because everything EXCEPT my sound is supported on my mobo and sometimes that even works for me lol

i give it a 8/10 because of my Low amount of RAM(512MB) and my Sound(Realtek ALC860)

KEEP EM' COMING GUYS!
~EDIT~
7/10, i forgot im not running retail :P Pentium 4 *sigh*

If I could get it all working, I would give it 9/10

I have plenty of RAM(8GB) and a good processor(Intel Core 2 Quad 2.83GHz)

I just have to get my drivers all straightened out

It's not possible to rate a system by working out-of-the-box, that depends very much on the installation image. On my system Leo4All V3 was working perfect (or were the X1600Pro gfx drivers not working?), but now the image is rather old and wouldn't support my HD2600XT, iDeneb worked too, but there were some other problems, iPC wasn't installing audio drivers, no gfx drivers for the X1600Pro. The last image I tested, XxX 10.5.6 Final 2, is working perfectly, but it isn't installing audio drivers and you have to know which additional options to select. And it's also depending on the drivers, forcedeth or forcedeth-v for nForce LAN was unstable, nForceLAN works perfect.

These are my boards:

Asus A8N-E FM/S - 100%, although it is an Fujitsu-Siemens OEM board
Asus A8N-SLI Premium - 99.9% - SiI3114 not supported
Asus K8N-E Deluxe - 99.9% - SiI3114 not supported
Asus A8N32-SLI Deluxe- 100%, but not in use.

In Tiger 10.4.7 my SiliconImage SiI3114 onboard controllers were supported by a modified AppleVIAATA.kext, in Leopard it isn't working anymore. But I don't need it anyway, so it's 100% at least for me. The K8N-E Deluxe is a AMD Socket 754/nForce 3-250/AGP board, but it has the same onboard components as the Premium, so it should work. I'm using on all boards ATI Radeon HD2600XT cards, AGP and PCI-E versions.

im just saying rate it on how good YOU think it is...

anyways i just did xBench 80.40, is that good? lol

I would rate my boards all 100%, that's why I don't need new systems, although Socket 939 is rather outdated.

Xbench comparisons are also very difficult because Xbench isn't very accurate and is testing so much different things. For example, my Athlon 64 3400+ Socket 754 and my Athlon 64 3700+ Socket 939 (both 2.2 GHz) had an cpu-only of about 70-75, but the Socket 754 system had a much lower total result because the AGP graphics was extremely slow, only about 40-45. It also depends on the OS installation, a direct 10.5.6 installation was always slower than an updated 10.5.3 -> 10.5.6 system.

My actual system using Leo4All 10.5.3, Socket 939 Dual-Core Opteron 185 overclocked @ 2.95 GHz using 333 MHz RAM and an ATI Radeon HD2600XT and an Samsung HD103UJ harddisk (very fast) gets 141.48 points, running three tests.

Not really if you take the fact that most users get 140-200, but that's enough i think It all depends on what do you need it for. For office/mail/messengers etc, it's more than enough. Mine got 94 points or so, and it's working good for almost every purpose.
