I don't have any misconceptions, I don't have a mac tower laying around to build some hacintosh. I get most my computer parts either free or wholesale...I've built a whitebox hacintosh. I've said that twice. I don't know why you keep pushing the mac angle. Hardware hobbyists are not going to buy a 2500 dollar mac tower and then six months later tear it down and put new hardware into it...that's what I do, I've put new mobos/cpus/ram in my towers about every six to eight months for the last few years. Installed linux, mac, solaris and windows several times. Backyard mechanics don't buy brand new 2010 camaros to tear them down six months later and put a new engine in.
