Unless Apple comes out with a Mobile Xeon based MacBook Pro, I'm hoping to build a workstation with ECC RAM in the near future.
Currently I'm eyeing something like the Gigabyte GA-X150M-PRO ECC based on Intel's C232 chipset and I'd pair it with a Xeon v5.
I'm not in a hurry but is it reasonable to expect something like this to be supported this year? In the forums there is a successful build based on a current-gen Asus X99-E board but without a Xeon and ECC RAM so I'm unsure how compatible those will be.
I've looked over the recommendations carefully and there doesn't seem to be a system that truly matches the Mac Pro in terms of suitability as a workstation. That's a shame since the high-end is where a hackintosh could really provide value.
