hi,

yes, it works like a charm with half the price of a macpro -> DAW project 2011

nothing for beginners, and only "supported" with windows 7.

what happens when you need Avid support and you are not on an approved Mac for support?

will it work when Apple updates their O/S like the upcoming Lion and any updates after?

Probably not because of the EFI updates. Trying to set up a Hackintosh takes a ton of work and why waste all that time when you can get a used Mac Pro for cheap? Just do it right the first time, and not have any headaches later.

Thats the problem a used Mac Pro is old technology and hugely over priced for what you get. If I'm to get a new Mac Pro thats $4500 when I can build the same thing for less than half. The money I save can then go in to buying a Avid Omni. Also at the end of the day I need a new PC as well so if it doesn't work I'll just install Win 7. The results online especially by using SSD hard drives are pretty impressive.

I dont see why Avid wouldn't support if its not on a Mac Pro because they support a PC built by me.

indeed a ton of work,...
but my setup is proofed and well tested.
i've used cards and mainboard with certified chipsets only.
and because of good experience and a lot of requests this setup (incl. full support) is successfully distributed by a company now,...

which company? I read that apple sued one company and shut them down. I'm curious to see who bounced back.
