I have had a list of parts for an intended AMD low end machine that I was going to stick my old GTX 950 in and use for h.265 encoding via NVENC and for maybe using as a spare machine for the occasional wintendo game. That machine parts out at $653 without a video card (sinc I already own it). Or, I can spend $46 more and get a mac mini that does everything that machine will do and far more. Hmm.. decisions. I mean, it's a tough one, isn't it? (No, it is not a tough one at all). Duh. > The only losers in all this is the small "hackintosh" community. But > they knew this was coming some day. Even they aren't losers as they were building machines to try to get better performance. -- Forgive your enemies, but remember their names.
