How is it for color grading? maybe if i have it calibrated with a spider also?

Congratulation! Custom built Apple... that's new to me...

[NateWeaver]

I'd think a hackintosh would be a lot of problems waiting to happen if you try to get a Kona, Redrocket, or RAID card working in it.

[Zakaree Sandberg]

its been tested with a red rocket. works flawlessly.
there are no issues whatsoever.. fully updateable. all programs work.. smooth as butter

[Zakaree Sandberg]

it already has a raid card in it

why western digital?

[Luis Otero]

Is the price tag significant lower than comparable Mac Pro to justify potential risks, headaches, etc...???

[Alex Carr]

This really needs an SSD, is this an EFI partitioned System?

Once you have an EFi Partition, and it is correctly configured there are no more Headaches, they become extremely reliable and highly configurable.

why western digital?
