Does it work in Hackintosh???

I am hoping someone tries this soon and reports back! I am looking at this as well. Maybe not the Gigabyte though, but the Intel NUC5i5RYH.

I got the i5 version of the Brix working. So far so good. My first Hackintosh attempt. I'll post updates as I work with it more.

Do you have the 5th generation intel i5 working or 4th generation?

Now that Chimera 4.1 supports broadwell and intel HD5500 graphics, has anyone set up one of the broadwell brix yet? I'll buy one pretty much as soon as someone confirms it's working.

Also: would there be any problem if I got the i3 version, considering no Apple products use such a processor?
