Hackintosh? Why?
Because the price difference is huge, you can build specifications which Apple doesn't allow, you can easily replace parts if they break. I've posted plenty about this before in the hackintosh thread, but it's so simple now. It's no longer the preserve of geeks. Anyone can do it. The hardest bit is putting the hardware together, but that's on about the same difficulty level as Lego.
If I bought a Mac Pro today with 16Gb of RAM, a magic mouse and a numeric keyboard - which is what my hackintosh has got - it would cost £3004, without a monitor. LOL.
My hackintosh has a decent sized SSD, a good quality case, 750ti graphics, a good quality fanless PSU - cost just over £700 all together.
Nice heat sink btw :)

You seem to have missed the point a little. But you would, ya fucking Mac user.
In case you can't tell I'm smiling to myself while typing all of this (see: :-) ). I still wouldn't use iTunes, that I'm serious about.
Hackintosh? Why?
If I had spare coin and more time to kill being a geek I'd buy a Mac laptop and dual boot it. But I don't so I won't. I just don't have enough time for 'playing' with computers any more. I want it to do the very basic set of things I need and I want it done well. I don't want to learn new ways of doing things unless they're better. Better, not different.
