Wait for new iMac or hackintosh?

[tominated]

Hey guys. Like many, i'm disappointed that new imacs weren't released at MWSF this year. I have been thinking, maybe i should build a hackintosh. I like the idea because of multiple reasons:
A. Cheaper
B. Already have a legal copy of leo
C. Better graphics

but i really dislike the idea because of these reasons:
A. Update compatibility
B. no support from apple
C. having to mess with all the kernel crap that i have no clue about.
d. i love the actual physical asthetics of imacs.

So far the disadvantages far outweigh the advantages. Anybody got an opinion on what i should do.

BTW: I need a new mac soon because the imac i have has a faulty graphics processor (it overheats easily, i might replace the thermal compound) and is on it's last legs.

P.S. It needs to be a mac because of my web design apps (coda, textmate, cssedit, etc.)

Hi you could try the efix route to a new build it is an alternative to patching for up date have not used it myself but have read some good reports but i built my hack so i could try to learn the nut and bolts of how and why it works with some help from the people on this webb site.

yeah, i saw that, but it'd cost upwards of $200. I guess If i did that i could get that new mac box set and have a full blown mac....
