I would worry about what Apple will do with the next release of OS X. Would it be possible for them to make it even more difficult for OS X to run on a Hackintosh?

Snow Leopard is supposed to make great moves towards using the multi core CPU's much more efficiently, and I for one don't mind paying the Apple Tax in order to make sure I don't have any worries when is comes to Snow Leopard.

On the mini, it's worth pointing out the new Mini's come with much improved graphics capability but they still run off 2.5" drives, not sure if they ship with 7200rpm's or not? What were you thinking of editing in?

Cheers

Cris.
