It looks like a missed a line of type, The clients current machine is a quad 2.66 Mac Pro and I think 10.7 is the latest OS for it. Also, ram is expensive, they currently have 8GB, all slots filled.

Files are stored on a NAS device

This is product Apple doesn't make.

You might be better off with a used MBP.

A Hackintosh with the new Intel Core i7 5820K, a six-core unit for less than $400.00. It has a top clock of 3.6 GHz and 15 MB cache memory.

I'm not sure you can get that machine all-in for under $1k, and there is a lot of futzing around if you only build one Hackintosh. I enjoyed it on my personal machine, in fact I'm rocking it right now (i7-4770K Quad-Core), but would not recommend this to a paying client unless they enjoyed the futz factor too.
I wasn't being entirely serious. More pointing out the ongoing glaring gap in the Mac line up.
