Hi
I build a hackingtosh a few years ago, but kinda lost track of what's out there hardware wise.
My Macbook (2012) is getting to slow for editing my photos and video, and Apple's machines are just way to expensive.
I figured i would try the hackingtosh again. I do have a few requirements. I'm not looking to have a big tower. Ideally a mini-itx build. It needs to be able to support my Thunderbolt Apple Cinema Display and also my thunderbolt hard drives.
Like I said, I'm not sure what to buy, so looking for some advice in terms of motherboard, graphic cards, cpu etc.
I did do some research, but it doesn't seem like there is a lot of people using the Apple Cinema Display, and it's important that I can use that. Will any motherboard with support of thunderbolt with with my display or do I need to look for something specific?
All the help is much appreciated!
