Hackintosh’ Vs Pro – Is It Worth Trying To Diy Your Own For Photo/Video Work? Mac Pro CasesI have had in mind to use older Mac Pro cases to create up to date hackintosh systems.I like the cheese grinder and its predecessor tower.I know I am strange.) Does anyone have any experience doing this I have not seen a topic like this so thought I would ask.
The older G5 cases are also used quite often and have some advantages over the MP cases. By continuing to use this site, you are consenting to our use of cookies. So I can see that Hackintosh computers are well worth the money and time spent on them for some folks. The Mac has become an icon of stellar design and ease of use in the computing world. And some of Apples customers have taken to building their own computers and running macOS on them instead of on a Mac from Apple. Why do people build Hackintosh computers Why would someone build a Hackintosh Well if youre a gamer or someone else who needs a top level video card, then a Hackintosh might fit the bill nicely. Or you might be someone who wants a cheaper computer built out of the parts that you prefer as opposed to the ones Apple selects for its Macintosh computers. Its a YMMV thing. And so for me, building a powerful Hackintosh, and dual booting with Windows (for games only) was the obvious way to go. Unfortunately, Apple charges INSANE prices for components (500 for a 512gb SSD600 for 32gb RAM are you kidding me). Development is also much more natural in a nix environment vs Windows I think - I use Windows daily at work. You can say that a hackintosh is more expandable and cost less, but you can also justify buying a Mac despite those reasons. You can always add external drives for expansion, and you do get what you pay for in the built quality of an Apple product. Need more RAM No problem, just throw your machine away and go buy a bigger one.). I need the scalability and power of a PC, along with the simplicity and power of OS X. I managed to build something with more internal storage and expandability than any Mac, with more cpu power than the 12 core Mac pro. I immediately fell in love with OS X- it works (almost) perfectly, and is smoother than butter. More and more people seem to be interested in creating their own Hackintosh, and the Hackintosh community has become vibrant sub-niche of macOS users. What follows are some of the pros and cons of building a Hackintosh. Hackintosh’ Vs Pro – Is It Worth Trying To Diy Your Own For Photo/Video Work? How To Build AInstructions on how to build a Hackintosh Initially the idea of building a Hackintosh might seem somewhat overwhelming, but fortunately there are some good resources available if you decide to do so. Heres a list of sites and articles that are worth checking out if you want to build a Hackintosh: Hackintosh.com The Hackintosh subreddit on Reddit The tonymacx86 Forum Hackintosh Zone Tech Insiders Hackintosh guide 9to5Mac: How to build a Hackintosh for the Oculus Rift Part 1 Part 2 And heres a video by a guy who built a Hackintosh, you can actually watch him put it together. The nerd in me wanted to in a big way, but ultimately I decided not to go ahead with building one. Right now my 5K iMac does everything I need it to do quite well, so I cant justify spending the money or time on another computer. If and when the time comes when my 5K iMac cant get the job done, then I would certainly consider building my own Hackintosh. But your mileage may vary, and after reading some of the articles and comments about Hackintoshes on various sites, Im quite impressed with what some users have been able to achieve with these machines.
