Hi, I'm looking for honest answers from long term hackintosh user (at least 6 months). I have a good pc (i7 3770k & gtx 680 & 16gig 2100 ram) and an iMac 2008, which have a very nice display but becoming laggy in non-web browser tasks. I did transform my pc into a hackintosh once but didn't keep the setup for more than a few days.
I'm normally afraid of patch that break down the systems. Not that I'm not able to work on it, it's just that I don't want to spend more time fixing my computer than using it. So let say I install 10.8.3, how much longevity can I get out of it without having issues (assuming the build is working fine, which it did the last time).
Does the DISK IMAGING tools (ghost,...) work well with OSX.
I know it's safer to buy another mac, but I already have a good PC and the old imac which doesn't have a resale value. If I go the mini route it cost me 900$ to get the i7 and I still need to upgrade the ram. So with 1000$ I duplicate my pc and get stuck with subpar video performance. If I use my PC, I maximize the investment I did.
Thanks!
