Friends,
My mid-2011 i7 iMac is near retirement. Thus, I'm looking at replacement possibilities.
I've toyed with the idea of a Hackintosh as the power/price ratio and upgradability is good. I'm not intimidated by purchasing parts and building the physical computer, but, I'm somewhat squeamish about the drivers and setup.
I'm looking to run High Sierra or Mojave, and I do lots of audio and video work, which could be a factor here. Budget is about $1500.
I was hoping to find a local hand-holder to assist with the process (as opposed to the several online resource web communities), but so far, no takers.
If you are a novice (like me) who's had experience, good or bad, I'd be interested in encouragement or discouragement.
Many thanks in advance,
SR
