I also might rebuild the Sony into a powerhouse PC, and control the world...Lol.
& blessings.
I used to run a Hakky but consumed too much time getting a good config after burning discs and discs, and making sure that config runned well and good. Required a lot of reading up, particularly as latest things that come out (namely WIFI cards, video cards etc) aren't supported well due to driver issues. Random kernel panics I'm sure have caused much frustration to everyone...

I felt pretty uncomfortable using a Hakky to as it feels like quite a fragile environment to work in, and not everything the OS is supposed to have or support won't be there depending on your installation or compatible hardware. If anything went wrong and I didn't have backup, it would be pretty awkward to restore and carry on working with. I'm sure there's a lot better configurations that work exactly like a Mac out there, but its not guaranteed for everyone... (but I know there are guides of what to buy if you want to make the best one out there).

As I have nearly 10 years of building performance PC's I just bought a faulty Macbook and faulty iMac for dirt cheap and repaired them I also upgraded them while I was at it too, since I was getting my hands dirty
