The purpose of the website is to allow users to mix and match hardware in order to build computers known to be compatible with apple Mac OS "snow leopard".
monetization of site will be via affiliate links to online stores and google ad words.
Design of site should match Apple's "clean and modern" look. Any coding back end, cm system is fine as long as it can be hosted on a dedicated linux server w/ Mysql and cPanel.
Also need a category for complete packages of motherboard plus video card plus CPU with:
