Anyone here build PCs?

Get a Mac or build something like this http://pcpartpicker.com/p/4jrsVn
The hard drive, case and OS are place holders for what you like and trust. If your not going to do a lot gaming i would down grade on the video card but your budget allows for it so i throw it in.

More software is coming in universal with Mac / win. I work on windows computers and own a Mac. Personally I would rather run a VM windows system then have it as a stand alone os but that's just me.

Yup, that's what i usually do - OSX for the daily driver OS and Win7/8 VM for most stuff.

I do maintain some dedicated Win games machines for hardcore gaming, though, my beefiest one is currently an upgraded Mac Pro with just Win7 installed. It supports quad Radeon HD 6-series in crossfire-x mode quite nicely.

Have you guys seen the new Mac Pros????? My personal opinion is that is about as ugly as a computer can get.

I've got a 2011 and 2013 MBP and an 2013 iMac but I'd like a bit more flexibility. Plus I just don't like OSX, I tried to use it for work but couldn't come up with a good way to deal with email (I know it's a MS issue but it forced me back to Lenovo for work).

Also, I tried going the VM route with my work MBP but there were known battery issues with running Windows 7 in fusion on an MBP. Not sure if that has ever been resolved; I haven't booted my windows VM in about a year.

I run Workstation on my main computer and run Linux from there if there's something else I need to do.
