Fallacy. It is actually pretty damn easy to do a hackintosh nowadays. Mine runs like a champ. Benefits of linux without the pain in the ass that is linux

Benefits of slickdeals.net purchased hardware and stolen software = really cheap, nice Mac set-up that in most cases performances as well as my 5000 dollar set-up at work (8 core, 8gb ram Mac Pro with top of the line graphics (why I have no idea) and then two Dell ultra sharp 24" monitors). I purchased mine for about 600 total with two 22" monitors, decent graphics (8600 gt 256) 4gb ram, 500 gb 32mb cache drive, E5200 I believe overclocked to 3.6 ghz, Tuniq tower cooler
