Hackintosh ReaMote
Just wanted to point out an excellent PC model for a Hackintosh ReaMote box, the Dell OptiPlex 9010 with i7-3770. It's got a good Hackintosh guide and kexts etc, and I've ran 300 ReaVerb plugs on the thing in ReaMote mode.
I hate Macs, but appreciate the plight of Mac users trying not to go broke getting good processing capabilities. OptiPlex 9010's can be found for like $100 used. If you run one as a ReaMote box, you'd be fine with any reasonable MacBook and 2nd monitor. Hackintoshes generally can't run the newest MacOS, but if they're just used for ReaMote and maybe video rendering, they don't need the newest OS. And then you don't need to pay huge bucks for fat processing in your main Mac, which can run the latest OS.
I honestly can't imagine considering a Mac DAW any other way. I've got two i7 laptops and two i7 desktops, all cost less than a decent Mac combined. With Reamote the two desktops combine for 500 ReaVerbs. Don't mean to come here and Mac bash, just letting y'all know how to save some big bucks.
