I did this for a year or two. Pros: * It's a mac, with decent specs, on a budget. Considering I was running dual boot on a machine I already owned, it was free! Really, that's the biggest and only one. Cons: * PITA to set up and make everything work, and this on a hardware configuration that is explicitly supported. In my case, to get everything working, I had to wipe my OS (since a GPT partition table is required), install, bail out and reinstall after finding the right combination of kernel flags, and then after I got it running, I had to hex edit my graphics driver (!!!) to get the second display to work. * Updates are scary, and will ~%50 of the time lead to a broken system. Unbreaking it is easy (usually just updating and rerunning the prep tool), but still annoying. * Never was able to get sleep mode to work. I had to disable it, since if I used it, my CMOS was wiped! - That sounds bad, but this was also years ago. The tools have gotten better, and I had a working system in an hour or two with a lot less screwing around just a month or so ago. Everything but sleep mode Just Worked too, though updates were still scary.
