4. Custom Mac Desktop Builds
One of the most important components in a custom build is the graphics card. If you're building a CustoMac, it's
an especially tricky decision. Not only do you have to worry about what will be a good performer for the cost, but
you also have to be informed what is fully supported, and what is not. They may not be the most powerful or
newest cards available, however they are undoubtedly smart and safe options. Please note that older cards may
not be available, and that standard layout, or "reference design" cards are most compatible.

Drives
Hard drives are unusually expensive right now, making SSDs a good bet for some users. If you have an
older drive to use with your build, it would be wise to hold off for a month or two. Choose a 1TB or less hard
drive if planning to use Chimera/Chameleon as your bootloader.
