Hardware Supported Out of box?
Capable of Snow Leopard.

I would like a list of dirt cheap hardware that would be supported out of the box. the mobo must have an i7 processor, the sound card needs to be supported(either by apple or a kext or something). Graphics card needs to support a 24" Cinema Display, needs Wifi, bluetooth(dongle or built in) 1tb hardrive, and it ALL must fit into a Mac Pro tower(either the old one or the new one, if it has dual DVD Drive slots then also find a second drive) oh and a 100GB TM disk(that I can fit inside. the only Apple things are the magic mouse, the Display, Keyboard, and the case. Supported out of box, but if theres something im missing, feel free to suggest something that is FULLY functional with a kext or a EFI String or DSDT or something.

Thanks!

It does thank you! Do you know what Graphics card Apple uses in the Mac Pro? Or really any of them, just something supported out of the box.

Current MacPro is avaible with either "GT 120 512 MB GDDR3" or for extra charge "Radeon HD 4870 512 MB GDDR5" - both should work with latest PC_EFI or Chameleon via Graphics Enabler, but I wouldn't get the GT120 it's nothing but a rebranded G96 GPU card, so GeForce 9500GT would be about to be equal but cheaper. If your budget allows it I would recommend to get an 4870.
