Is the trouble really worth it to save $200? It has to be one of those "just because I can" things for most people who do this, right?


I agree. A lot of people (myself included) buy "real" Macs precisely because they don't want to have to deal with this sort of stuff.


It's basically a hobby project. You could arguably save a few $k building a Mac Pro clone, but if you really need a Mac Pro level machine then you probably shouldn't rely on a Hackintosh. It certainly kills the "just works" aspect of Apple products.


In evilduck's case, it's ~$200 more and 2 processor cores less.
