Keep dreaming bud. If you want upgradeability and self-serviceability, build it yourself.

- e40 9y agoYou mean like the previous Mac Pro?
- rspeer 9y agoYeah, I had a 2008 Mac Pro that was still a damn good machine when I stopped using it in 2012, because I had upgraded its RAM and its hard disk.
- joevandyk 9y agoI'm still using my Mac Pro from 2008! Upgraded the memory and video card. The colors on the display are completely wonky in the past year so it's being regulated to a plex server. I'm probably paying way too much in energy.
- LeifCarrotson 9y agoI (and the parent) want this - and don't mind doing it ourselves - on Mac-supported, stable hardware. A supported, stable, updateable Hackintosh. Please, Apple, sell me a big Apple motherboard, a quality case, and write OS-X with boot and driver software that supports various CPUs, RAM, storage, GPUs, power supplies, and peripherals. You know, like Windows and Linux have done for years. Whitelist or blacklist as necessary to make it reliable and dependable, but no more than necessary. The model works - but Apple doesn't work with the model, which is why my current machine isn't a Mac anymore.
- threeseed 9y agoThat is never going to happen. You're just not Apple's target audience. And they did try this model back in the clone days where Power Computing went straight after their high margin customers and nearly killed the company. Great for consumers. Terrible for Apple.
- wil421 9y agoI agree and those days are long gone. Recently built a custom desktop but had to use windows. Now that Kaby Lake is supported on Macs I could do a hackintosh.
