first post, please be gentle
I have searched through the forum a bit and am trying to figure out what would be most cost effective for a higher end workstation used for recording music
I have gathered that certain hardware works, others not so much etc etc
I have no skills building nor do I intend to learn how, was curious if going by your recommendations for a motherboard etc then have a company build me a windows workstation to then upload mac os to,
seems to be a better bet for my situation considering, the software "modifications" etc is in my wheelhouse so I could save money from having someone build it and then do all the mac os aftermarket stuff, (hope i'm being clear) kind of a half measure given i don't want to build a computer, given i'll mess up possibly horrifically with expensive stuff...
i've seen intel xeon i9 workstation builds for less than 5k and another build with a W xeon 18 core which is in the imac pro currently for less than 5k as well, other options would be getting a dual xeon workstation, either e5 v4s or gold 22 core stuff, making sure that the motherboard used if there are any at all, (sorry not sure yet) would work with the mac os
jncs
abmx
and other sites build for cheaper than i thought, and much cheaper than any mac on the market i'd care to have, with similar hardware if not one to one
i currently have a good ole mac pro 5,1 2x6 core 3,46 blablabal, getting the usual 32k on geekbench 3 and i can't remember (27k) on 4
tl;dr
building workstation worth it through online sites a more time efficient way to do a hackintosh
tanks?!
