The following configurations allowed me to play CS:S perfectly under these computer specs:

Run CROSSOVER and install STEAM
Open steam/Log-in then Download CS:S
In STEAM, on the tab “My Games”, Select CS:S
Click “Properties”, then “Launch options”
Edit to contain only the following:
-novid –windowed –w 800
press OK, Press close, then ‘Launch’.
Don’t worry about it being small for the minute.
In the CS:S menu, click ‘options”
Click the ‘Video” Tab, then click ‘Advanced’
Settings should be as follows: Model Detail: High Texture Detail: High Shader Detail: Low Water Detail: Simple Reflections Shadow Detail: Low Color Correction: Disabled (grayed out) Antialiasing Mode: None Filtering mode: Bilinear Wait for vert sync: Disabled High Dynamic Range: None (NOTE: if you want to have better water/shadow etc, play around with what works best with you, but don’t bother changing the Bilinear settings, that will really make it slow)
Click OK, Then Change the ‘Aspect Ratio’ to ‘16:10’ and THEN the ‘resolution’ to ‘1920x1179’
Click ok.
And that’s it!
The only catch is you need to set the resolution every time you start up (advance settings will save). Just go options and change the resolution for now.
I’m SURE there is a command line for all of this, I just don’t know it, so until someone edits this, this is the answer for iMac 24”.
