[QUOTE="martyp, post: 1001494, member: 61183"] Well, I would say you are the best person to make the decision however, here's my two cents. 1. Hackintosh: As mentioned we are not allowed to discuss those here due to the Apples' EULA. However, I wouldn't sugest these as a way to run OS X full-time. You need to be extra careful over product selection, updates could really mess up your system too. 2. iMac: Would be enough for your needs minus the BlackMagic card. 3. Mac Pro: Definitely capable of more than your needs at the moment and is highly upgradable (GPU, PCI-e, HDD (even RAID card), processors etc) for future tasks. However, PCI-X cards (your BMI Pro) will not work with new Mac Pros only PCI-e cards - both totally different interfaces. So you may need to upgrade this. Hope that helps. [/QUOTE]
