This goes back to something I say all the time on here - those case mods and futzing around with OSx86 are only free if your time has no value.

8 hours of "elbow grease" easily covers/exceeds the premium Apple charges.

For some people however, the DIY pride factor, or simply having lower valued time, means that its viable. Nothing wrong with that.
