Default Hackintosh and HD native + 11

I'm seriously considering building a hackintosh for a few new rooms. Even spending the money on one to test first just to quell my curiosity.

Anyone running the latest hackintosh builds?

These machines would be purpose but just for protools HD native. No other need. Does that make this a better idea?

Running a Hackintosh with PT11HD Native. Best decision you can make, imho.

+1 3930k in p9x79 running great here. PT only makes it easy if you don't mess with sound.

You can do easybeast + the voodootscsync and your done. I'm looking forward to see what the e5 v2's are capable of, although I'm not sure I would need one anytime soon.

I don't know what you mean by that.

AFAIK the only significant benefit of a Xeon over a 2011 i7 is that you can use two of them with a respective mainboard.

Personally I think a i7 3930K offers you the best bang for your buck, and also they are widely spread in the Hackintosh community so it's easy to pick a mainboard that will be up and running easily.
