A couple of years ago I planned to build  A Dual Boot Hackintosh  with  Windows  and  macOS.  You can read more about my hardware selections in  this  old post. But after installing macOS and configuring it for my hardware, I got sucked into the  Apple ecosystem  and did not even bother to check for windows. The Switch For over a year, I used this custom-built machine with  Linux  and  Big Sur  as my only computer.

If  you want to avoid overpriced pre-builts like the M1 Mac Mini, Mac Pro, or Dell XPS Desktop without compromising on performance, a self-built desktop is a preferred option. It's also a great choice if you enjoy building things. custom built with ASUS-PRIME-P If you choose to build a custom PC, be prepared to invest time in researching and assembling compatible components.  In this post, I'll share my experience building this colorful powerhouse. I'll cover: Why did I do it.  Key questions to ask when selecting components Thought process behind component choices Components used in my build Benchmark comparisons . ** My second custom-build **.  ***  Disclaimer: Not an Apple product. Just a free apple sticker is used *** Why did I do it I decided to get a desktop during the pre-MacM1 era (yes, that’s a thing). After browsing many websites, I found that well-configured prebuilt PCs were overpriced, while cheaper ones had subpar components. Unable to choose betwee...
