^ Heh. Debbie downer is a crackup. It's always funny when those unable to do something insist that no one else is able to either.
"server grade parts" *chuckle*. Newsflash: if you want to build a computer with a Xeon CPU (even dual) and server motherboard and install OSX on it, that's easily do-able. Quite a few dual CPU sever boards work great for Hackintoshes. Just people that actually know hardware realize there's nothing magical about any of it. Xeon is just a brand name and doesn't necessarily perform any better than the equivalent i7. (Xeons are more durable, and run redundant microcode, but otherwise no difference).
In fact, I'd much rather have a system now with an IvyBridge i7 overclocked than most any Xeon system, and certainly I'd rather use standard RAM than overpriced buffered RAM; much better bang for the buck.
I've been running Hackintoshes as my primary computers for 4 years now. My machines handle all the editing work I can throw at them. The process started out pretty straightforward, but it's only gotten easier, not more difficult. The last few Thunderbolt 3770k i7 Hacks I built for clients were virtually as easy to install as any real Mac would be. Tonymacx86, kakewalk and a few other methods make it easy. You pretty much have to be *ahem* a debbie-downer-doofus to f-up a modern Hack if you can read, buy the right hardware, and follow a guide where someone else has already figured everything out and created tools to allow you to do everything with one-click.
It's amusing (also annoying) to hear ignorant people flail around insisting something that's easy is difficult and desperately trying to spread FUD, but then again, that's the nature of the Internet!
