Anyone else considering Hackintosh? Some water cooled beast running OSX really appeals TBH.

  2 years ago, while I still had just a Macbook Air, I built a gaming PC, but choose all the hardware from the tonymacx86 guide so I could use it also for iOS development. Last year I bought a Broadwell rMBP and relegated the Gaming PC to just gaming. Imho, too much work to mantain it updated and properly working. If I was still in high school, I could live with all the cons, but as a working freelancer, I won't.

    As a counter point, my wife and I have both been using hackintoshes for the past four years and I do very little, if any at all, work to maintain them. Setting up a machine from scratch is made easier now with Clover. Even moving to each new version of OSX has been just as easy as my MBP which I use when travelling. That's not to say it's without it's cons, iMessage/Handoff/Facetime don't work, but that doesn't bother me as I don't really use them and when I do it's on my iPhone or iPad.

      I've also had few issues all in all. The key is to get compatible hardware and you'll mostly be fine.

  Now that Polaris support seems to be in MacOS I'm pulling the trigger on this.
