| I think this depends as much on your personality, clients and work environment as it does on the actual technology. Certainly when I was younger I would've given it a shot, and I've been through periods where every cent saved is important - even making my own ethernet cables for example. But it's not the sort of thing I enjoy doing and that's why it's not something I'll do. Not because it can't be done, not because I don't know how, and not because of some economic argument or moral stance against Apple, but simply because I can't be bothered mucking around building my own machine. I've skimmed through a few articles about Hackinstoshs and (generally) they seem to be put together by enthusiasts who enjoy that sort of thing. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: jarret langmeire [mailto:langmeire@gmail.com] Sent: Monday, June 18, 2012 02:01 PM To: 'After Effects Mail List' Subject: [AE] Hackintosh worth the effort? Hi everyone, Given the current state of the MacPro line and the fact that I don't think I can stick around until 2013 for the new "maybe" MacPro, I'm wondering whether a hackintosh is an option? I have reached the point where I'm having to look at alternatives but given the many thousands I have tied up in software, I'm very reluctant to move away from the MacOS. I've been scouring the web and there seem to be a lot of mixed feelings about the hackintosh and whether or not it's worth it but I really want to hear from people who may have been using such a setup to run After Effects in a high-end production environment. Thanks in advance, Jarret |
