    I used to be quite in to building computers, as a hobby. Internet access to OEM parts and a little bit of ingenuity gave you access to running Windows on bleeding edge hardware that hadn't yet hit the consumer market and was fast enough to make computing feel in tune with how fast our bodies wanted computers to tactfully feel. Now its 2014 and reliability is so much more important, most heavy duty computing processes are offloaded to cloud processing. I can't imagine building a computer component by component and having to suffer the headaches of cheap Chinese components barely holding up. Computers are fast enough now, even consumer models manage photoshop, video rendering and other business related tasks with no latency.

    Building a hackintosh seems like a fool's errand because of the pitfalls and confusion when software needs to be updated. Unless you need extreme performance out of a computer or you just have loads of free time and see this as a hobby, why bother when Apple computers are reasonably priced and are notably recognized for being well built mechanically.

    • This isn't 1995 mate,
      have you seen the beast you can build and isn't everything made in china?      GeorgesII
    • I must say I'm not biased, but the satisfaction in having a one of the kind machine beats all for me :)GeorgesII
    • That's cool if your bespoke computer makes you happy, but it seems like too much trouble for me (maybe I'm old)epic_rim
    • what trouble are you talking about?GeorgesII
