For example, Apple restricts your upgrades with its hardware, and for that we must pay $3000+ on the other side, we got Core2Duo systems that can upgrade as easy as getting a new mother board, CPU and RAM. The whole point of hacking OSX is to save on Apple Hardware. In my opinion, Hackmacs and pro music is still pre-mature. Even if I can get one for half as much, its still not true digital, besides, I have a big problem with paying $300 for something that will half ass my digital signal, not to mention I would rather get me a Mega Mad sick Nvidia or ATI card with 2 Dual Link DVI ports right on it. A VGA to DVI plug will not work and the only other option is to get a Gefen analog to digital converter for $300.
Since onboard GMA 950 has to forcefully be connected through VGA and one ADD2 card, its impossible to connect 2 Apple Cinema Displays which only transmit Digital signal.

After I sold out a lot of hardware in the past years I found my way back to real gear instead of being a virtual knobs and wheels player.
