Yep and there is a vast middle ground of use-cases. The parent asked about consumer grade hardware versus something like Boxx. I gave 3 separate reasons. A lot of people in this thread are wondering why Hackintoshes aren't an option so I wanted to bring it up.

Honestly, Apple wasn't what I had in mind when I was replying. Personally, I've had to deal with HP z-series workstations compared to various cobbled together machines. Having machines where the series will be in production for a decade, data sheets are readily available, fewer tools needed to open it and install stuff saves so much time and allows less downtime and faster turnaround.

If you don't have to use MacOS. PC from large OEM will cost half.
