    [Guide] Airport - PCIe Half Mini v2

    Couldn't find a reference in the thread so far... probably need to go to bed. Got a BCM4352 equipped card here: http://www.embeddedworks.net/wlan507.html Got the driver here: https://github.com/toleda/airport_pcie-hm 5GHz is apparently not supported/working. Works fine otherwise. Any luck...

    Gigabyte GA-H81TN

    Finally! It wasn't the GPU after all. The GA-H81TN has a stinky, smelly, old fashioned BIOS, and there's no way to disable Vt-d. My org.chameleon.Boot.plist includes the following: <key>Kernel Flags</key> <string>-v dart=0</string> <--this disabled Vt-d. <key>IGPEnabler</key>...

    2010 HacMini - Intel DH61AG i3-3225 - Mac Mini Casemod

    I couldn't find the AR04 for <$40 shipped. This one is half the price: http://www.frozencpu.com/products/21279/cpu-aka-21/Akasa_Ultra_Low_Profile_Intel_CPU_Cooler_-_Mini-ITX_AK-CC7129BP01_Sockets_775_115x.html

    Gigabyte GA-H81TN

    Only got the CPU today. It's still only booting in safe mode. GPU drivers hang, not sure which settings to use. Trial and error sucks. At least the unsupported graphics would say, "oh, we're nothing" and it would boot without having to enter safe mode. The HD4600 is making it hard-freeze...

    Gigabyte GA-H81TN

    Okay, that sucked. Returning the 4130T, ordered a 4670T. Apparently Haswell graphics are easy enough to get working, but only if they're 4600/5000, not 4400s. :twisted:

    Gigabyte GA-H81TN

    Installed fine after replacing the OSInstall and OSInstall.mpkg. Kewl. Don't forget to copy your patched mach_kernel back! (Oops!) Now if I could just get Mavericks to recognize the GPU. (I built a custom DSDT last night and everything, but no dice.) Enough people have Haswell IGP working...

    Gigabyte GA-H81TN

    I am having the same problem. The BIOS only sees the SSD I'm using if it's MBR-partitioned. The BIOS on the H81TN is kind of crippled, comparatively speaking. I am trying a few things to get OS X installed on an MBR drive, but I may have to RMA it and get an -87 instead. I'll post back if I...

    Compatible-est Thin Mini-ITX mainboard?

    Looking to build a hackintosh inside an LC case I got on eBay. I'm thinking I'll probably need a thin-mini for sanity's sake. (I've seen some ITX hacks of the LC case and it gets pretty ugly back there.) I know about the DQ77KB that gets recommended here a lot, but was hoping somebody would be...
