Hay /comp/,
I have money to throw around and I want a better mac than my Mini. However, I am not homosexual yet so I can't buy an overpriced box from Steve. I'm thinking of making a custom-built Hackintosh, but I can't figure out whether it's a good idea to do it because all the osx86 information available on the Internets seems to be outdated so I don't know what to expect in terms of very long-term stability and annoyances. (would I be still be able to update the software regularly in 3 years for example?)
Here's what I need from that computer:
1. Running the last major version of OS X at all times
2. Running Parallels
3. Running Opera
4. Supports dual-screen
5. Supports about 20 USB devices at the same time (told you about the money thing) - stupid mini whines about it no matter what setup of powered hubs I use
Should I build it or bend over? Your opinion is appreciated.
