Hey guys,
I'd love to say I can buy a top-tier Mac Pro, but alas, the funding got in the way !
So, I want to go the "back door" route, and build a "hackintosh". Does anyone have any experience w/ building one?
This machine will be used predominately for PHOTOSHOP(CS5 once I've got enough pennies saved). Editing large film scans(some starting at 1.5-2gb and up). I'd like to keep budget UNDER $1k(not including monitor), and have as "future proof" of a system as possible. I don't know Asus from MSI boards, PCI-Express from VGA(which I think is dead, right?). I DO know that SSD drives are leaps and bounds faster than SATA, and a crapload faster than IDE drives...
So, what does Photoshop NEED in order to run as smoothly as possible, w/o hardware compatibility issues with OSX? I'll probably have this machine OFFLINE 90% of the time, since I use my laptop for that...
I prefer Intel chips, but if AMD is better(or a little cheaper for the same tech specs), I'm open to new things .
thanks
-Dan
