Photography Rig
My 2005 MBP is on its death bed and I will be building a hackintosh to replace it.
So far I have come up with the following for my build and appreciate a critique of the components I have selected for it before I pull the trigger and make the purchases. I want to make it as vanilla as possible and will be using it for Lightroom, Photoshop, occasionally rip DVDs, stream videos, and maybe in the future I will expand my photography to include videography (no gaming). My goal is to keep it b/w $1000-$1300 if possible, but willing to spend a little more because I keep my computers for a long time.
