I've always wanted a Mac Pro because, you know, it's a Mac Pro. But, I'm not someone in a field where I actually need the horsepower of a Mac Pro. However, I am an avid Hackintosher, because I love the tinkering part. If I were in need of the kind of horsepower that a Mac Pro has, I am confident that I could build a compatible Hackintosh for a lot less money.
Now, before I get blasted, I know that a Mac Pro is a solid, beautiful piece of machinery and my Hackintosh would not necessarily be the design beauty that a Mac Pro is, but I could still get the same performance out of it for less money. My current Hackintosh is the virtual equivalent of the top end iMac (minus the screen of course) and it is super stable. Plus I have blu-ray and can easily change drives, etc. Hackintoshing is so mature now that anyone who needs a Mac Pro should be able to build their own. So, I'm interested in what happens, but probably won't ever take the dive unless, I come into some serious money. But, that's just me.
