Oh, I didn't realize you still wanted two machines. You mentioned that your next mac would be a hackintosh, so I just thought you'd like to know that you potentially already have one.
Oh, yeah, and some thought was given to 'retiring' the Gaming PC to Hackintosh duty and building a new PC (when the time came, my PC is still going strong and is getting a top of the line Polaris or Pascal GPU upgrade when they lanuch - whichever has the best price/performance).
Then i realized ive probably got at least another year of useful life out of the Mini (the HD3000 iGPU being..old and clunky is the only thing ive got a serious gripe about) but more like 3-4 years of life in the PC gaming rig (as CPU performance gains have peaked, i expect Haswell to be good for at least 5 years) - so ill probably (over)spend about ~900-1100$US on a hot-looking mITX X99 (or the new HED chipset, if theyve replaced X99 by build time) six or eight core Hackintosh. Im thinking ill use the Fortress FT-03 from Silverstone. It feels Mac-like to me.
Like i said, i dont think i could ever go back to using a simgle computer. Having my daily-driver divorced from my gaming has been killer.
