Hackintosh for Public Performance Usage

[JacobZ]

Hey everyone, my name's Jacob. I'm a certified IT technician and I was asked by a church to build them a multimedia machine for no more than $1500. I'm planning on building a multimedia Hackintosh Pro based off of the specs on the buyer's guide for a church venue. A good friend of mine said that there may may be some concern on the overall stability of the machine used every night. I'm planning to run two TVs as still image displays, one working monitor, a projector, DAW (Logic Pro X, not often), and 1080p video editing (Final Cut Pro X). Only myself (IT technician) and my brother (the church's sound engineer) will have access to updating the system. Any thoughts or stories on using a Hackintosh for a public venue? Thanks.

Possible base specs:

4-6 core CPU
32-64 GB RAM
1060 GTX or RX 480 (I heard that AMD is better for Final Cut)
512GB Samsung SSD
External Audio Interface (not sure yet)
Mix of liquid and air cooling

P.S. Also was asked to look into at rack mount compatible cases. Any one use one or know of one with good cooling?
