The 2011 Mac Mini is an awesome little box. When the 2014 one came out they briefly went over new price on eBay because the specs on the 2014 mac mini were so underwhelming. But I think they're assed out of OS after this one.

I ran a Hackintosh for a while. I wasn't happy with the fact that you're basically preserved in amber until the hack community catches up with the software updates, and they may not be using your sound card or motherboard or whatever. I mean it was fun'an'all but what I needed it to do? You can do it on one of these for $80:

What do you have in the land of Mac that doesn't exist in the land of Windows? I'll miss Logic when my Mac Pro gives up but Avid hasn't been supporting Logic on the HD Native card for three years now anyway. Pretty much everything else I need is cross-platform at this point.

Know what's decadent? buying a phat M.2 and triple-partitioning it production/testing/gaming.

And spending 1/4th as much on the whole rig while you're at it.
