The Super Computer is almost here…

I have received a lot of emails regarding this build from photographers, video editors, motion designers and the like. You know, the Hackintosh community is largely consumer based but there are quite a few of us professionals out there looking to build a great system for a great price (a lot more of us then you may think!)

I have great news, I just bought the last 2 components of this build and will be building my Hack Pro in the next few days. Just waiting on my ram to arrive! Look out for an indepth post and video on my build along with build lists and benchmarks. I will be comparing my (obviously slower) 1st gen Macbook Pro (which I do ALL of my work on…) to this BRAND NEW Super Computer.

For those just joining us, I am building an insane Hackintosh. Not your conventional “save every last dime” build, but rather an extravagant “Spend as much as you need but reliable and easy”. With that said, I did not spend anywhere near what a brand new 8 core Mac Pro would cost with the same (actually less) features…

Stay tuned…I am as excited about this build as all of you are!
