johnlocke2342 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Hi. Until last week, I was using my 3 years-old Hackintosh as my main machine. I always wanted to get a real Mac desktop and got myself the high end current generation Mac mini last Monday. The problem is: how do I recycle my Hack? Using it as a server? Using it as a media center? As a Windows PC? As a Linux PC? I don't want to use it as a family machine as my mom has no interest in technology, nor selling it or giving it, as it was my "buddy" for the past 3 years (I'm the kind of weirdo that develops sentiments for machines, and yes, I'm seeing a psychiatrist ? ). Its setup is in my sig. Thanks in advance. Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/287852-what-should-i-do-with-my-retired-hackintosh/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
3.14r2 Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Use it as gaming rig (for light gaming sessions), if you are in to gaming Or use it as a backup fix-other-PCs-with machine. I do PC repairs occasionally, and a spare desktop PC is quite handy (disk cloning/cleaning/checking etc.). P.S. Congrats with the new toy!

johnlocke2342 Posted April 13, 2013 Author Share Posted April 13, 2013 Thanks. I'm not a gamer, as I own a PS3 that I used only a couple of times as a gaming machine, I'm using it mainly as a Video station (Netflix, Blu-ray, DVD, UPNP). To be more precise, I linked my hack to my 32" TV via HDMI, I just don't know what to do with it. The main reason I abandoned it was discovering a SATA port fell off the mobo.
