> Hello PC. We are about to become good friends.

 

I’m already a PC friend obviously, but I was contemplating get a bared bones SB Xeon Mac Pro as my Hackintosh is an el-cheapo Core 2 dual as I need a solid Mac in the shop for working with FCP projects that I create DCPs from and for some tasks related to my IMAX non-profit film.

 

But since said SB Xeon is not coming, my choices are now hoping people will unload old Mac Pro’s cheap on eBay or look for a write off and donate one to the film.  I certainly can’t justify buying one of the current models at Apple’s price. I could also consider building a beefier Hackintosh – and now that choice is much more attractive as a reasonably solid Lion Hackintosh can be built cheap.

A film is – or should be – more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what’s behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later.

Stanley Kubrick
