Finally posting my updated build. With the addition of Docker and KVM my setup has changed drastically over the last couple of years. I started out with the Sempron 145 and zotac itx board, moved up to an i3 cpu and micro atx board, and now using a full ATX mobo and 6 core cpu. Pictures to come soon.

  • OSX 10.10
    • This article got me interested in trying to run OSX in a virtual machine. http://lime-technology.com/forum/index.php?topic=34864.0. What I eventually figured out is the "model fallback" tag didn't pass the vendor 'GenuineIntel' to the virtual machine. After multiple failed attempts for that to work, I decided to look at a hackintosh VM. This went through pretty smooth after modifying the xml listed by archedraft. I used the Yosemite-Zone installer iso with the /amd kernel and the install took off. The only issues I'm currently having is the system clock is extremely fast so I cant get the clock correct and it gives an error about SSSE3 not being supported. I believe installing another kernel may fix this, but havent had much time to play. The xml below has GPU and USB passthrough working.

  • XBMC
    • Installing XBMC on Xen seemed to be a nitemare. After switching to KVM, seemed to have no problem. This VM has GPU passthrough and is controlled through the web interface.
