Hello, I got an internship at a audio engineering studio that uses Digital Performer for everything. I have a lot of DAW experience but it's all in Cubase on Windows. I don't have a mac, nor can I afford one at the moment, so I can't practice at home. Needles to say the ability to practice at home would be invaluable to speeding up the process of the internship actually turning into a job (which the studio incidentally needs too). My only hope for getting an immediate setup going would be if I could find a program that runs OS X over Windows or Linux...anyone know if this exists? (If Linux can run on top of Windows I don't see any reason why OS X shouldn't be able to, except for the fact that OS X is proprietary and Linux isn't. But perhaps Macintosh has seen some use in developing a program to do this or somebody has figured out a way to make OS X "think" it's running on a Mac.) Anyone know? I'm checking the internet too of course but this is worth a shot.
And in case your wondering the studio is aware of my lack of experience with Macs. I know my way around a *n?x system so I shouldn't have too hard a time picking it up.

The new Minis are cheaper, about $499 and would be fine for audio. You could use your pc monitor, USB keyboard and mouse even :)
