I've been building and refreshing one or more PCs because work requires that I keep a Windows/Linux system, but personally (and work in the few times that require it) I always preferred using Macs ever since I was smitten by an SE/30 running System 6.x, then 7.x, 8.x... 9.22, then OS X from 10.0 to El Cap (haven't updated to Sierra yet).
Assembling/refreshing PCs were kinda fun back in the day when it was challenging (sourcing parts, making stubborn things work, etc.), but since the turn of the century, any monkey can get all the parts from Fry's and build a new one in 30 minutes, so it's lost interest since then, and I've been just doing it for work's sake.
About 10 years ago, in order to reduce the number of boxes I keep at home, I decided to downsize by trying to keep one box that could triple boot Windows, Linux and OS X. And also because I was stung after shelling out about $5,000 for a cheese-grater Mac, then finding out my off the shelf, triple booting PC performed much faster. Nevertheless, I tried to purchase bona fide Macs as much as possible, but mostly the new Macbooks.
But it was when Apple started messing with Mac Mini models, and after realizing that Intel NUCs made for better Mac Mini's that I found myself fully onboard with Hackintoshing. I have a Mac Pro-like desktop using a Gigabyte board/core i7/GTX 970 for any heavy lifting, but I find I'm doing 90% of my work with my Broadwell-based Intel NUC running El Cap. To me this is the perfect Mac.
The trash can Mac Pro is a waste, the Mac Mini line is dead, and the Macbooks are one disaster after another. Every year, I wish Apple would introduce a worthy Mac, but every year they disappoint, so I stick with Hacintoshing.
