i'm new here, not new to Macs, but i need an answer that was made in many seasons... but is not pinned down on one main topic...
I have a Mac Pro 2009 2.26 4.1 >> 5.1, and need to know if it worth it to go the Hackintosh way instead of upgrading to a higher original Mac Pro...
I have most of what is needed to convert to a X5690, with the CPU, 64x2 Gigs of ram, HD, SSD, a GTX 970, etc...
point is, it's more physical than logical. I need to have access to the latest features like the biggest graphic cards for 2D/3D design, the more Teraflops for Web Hosting a Test Server, and the simpliest OSX maintenance process that does not need to flash or rewrite everything each time we face an update.
so ?! technically, i'd like the biggested box *(Mac Pro is a good startup) so i have access to some RAID/RAM/PCIe slots etc...
would it be worth it to build the biggest box at normal cost, for a single machine ???
and what would you suggest? no money related.
PS: needs are for:
- WebServer "Wordpress" development
- my teens that are studying in 2D/3D Graphic and Motion Design
- i play CS:GO... and my kids are in need of a good rig for "some" other gaming stuff...
