Build a Cheaper, Customizable Alternative to Apple's Mac Pro

The hack pro is $853.32 cheaper, of course, but the machines have some key differences. The Hack Pro benefits from having 4GB more RAM, though that RAM is a tiny bit slower (not that you'd ever notice). Apple's Mac Pro also has dual GPUs. Albeit slower in specifications, some professional software is specifically tuned and optimized to work with AMD FirePro GPUs. Unfortunately, almost no software takes advantage of these dual GPUs on a Mac at the moment and probably won't for awhile. Its PCI-based flash storage is faster, but whether or not you'll notice that speed is another story. - Adam Dachis, Lifehacker
