Hi, I'm new here and hoping to find some information about a Plex Server Hackintosh.
I currently have a Early 2009 Mac Pro with a X5680 3.33GHz 6-core processor, 32 ECC RAM and 256 Samsung Pro SSD. Since this old machine uses a lot of energy, I am considering to build a hackintosh which is as powerful (or better) and saves me some energy-costs.
My needs are: at least 4 1080p transcodes should be possible, dual LAN port is desired, machine will be headless.
Any thoughts on what may be good parts for a build like this?
Also: can I restore the Time Machine backup from my current Mac on a Hackintosh?
Regards,
Patrick
