I love to build computers and try new things.
Nailed it. For the price of a mac mini, I built an iMac equivalent (obviously, not as pretty to look at).I think that the first two reasons are related. I was on the market for a mac mini but I realized that for the price I wasn't getting the hardware I wanted.
I currently have a 2007 iMac 24" Duo Core that has begun to show it's age, as it is beginning to panic and crash randomly, especially when I start editing our Church service footage in iMovie. It overheats, and the USB connectivity is no longer 100% reliable. I had considered getting the 17,1 iMac with the big GPU and CPU, but spending 3+ grand for non-current hardware does not sit right with me. I maintained our Windows systems at the lab before getting "retired" after we were taken over, so the notion of building a video editing system running Mac O.S. appeals to me.I would like to know what your PRIMARY reason was to build a hackintosh.
