Hi all!
I have a very nice main desktop for about 7 years now and i think i could stretch it some more by recently upgrading some rams and a larger SSD capacity + minor cleanings. Got it from fortran in 2013 and it's been quite steady. Have generally been on windows and little ubuntu OS for my usage.
Due to a preference in my boss's usage of macOS, i am looking into a hackintosh build with a small form factor (SFF). Tried searching around here but don't see much discussions on these (SFF + hackintosh). Will be using this for work related documents editing, surfing, video, garageband recordings and iMovie. Looking at like a time span of 3-5 years with approx 800 as budget.
Have been looking around a bit and wanted some advises for a hackintosh build (just looking at the hardware portions to conform to hardwarezone's policy):
1) Intel NUC8i5BEH build
a) Add in 16GB RAM
b) Add in samung evo 970 500GB m.2 NVME
c) BCM94360CS2 related cards (could skip this)
2) Asrock Deskmini 310 Intel build
a) Add in 16GB RAM
b) Add in samung evo 970 500GB m.2 NVME
c) BCM94360CS2 related cards (could skip this)
d) Intel processor (Haven't really decided)
3) Asrock Deskmini 310 AMD build
a) Add in 16GB RAM
b) Add in samung evo 970 500GB m.2 NVME
c) BCM94360CS2 related cards (could skip this)
d) Ryzen processor (Haven't really decided)
or potentially use the money above to build a micro or mini ATX build for hackintosh.
Anyone has done this and can share thoughts for going with the builds they went?
