So I broke down and had a custom computer built.
Since Apple is using Intel shit now you can run OS X Leopard on
a PC now. It's a dual boot machine with 3 drives, one running Vista, one Leopard and one drive to swap files. I don't really need Vista, but I figured since there's so many "available" plugins I can do my daily shit on Leopard and mix on the Vista side. . I was running a dual 2ghz G5 with 4gb of ram and this shit is wayyyyy faster running an overclocked intel 3.8 processor with 8gb of ram. Finally got Pro Tools 8 and it's the shit as well, lol
I had it all installed in a HTPC case so it looks like a piece of equipment and fits in a rack. It wasn't cheap but it's way cheaper than buying a new mac!
