I have been reading posts here over and over again and I am still enjoying doing so. I finally ordered 3 G4 Cubes from ebay for a long term hackintosh project. They will hopefully arrive later on Monday. Could you guys give some suggestion on what mother board I should use for Haswell CPUs?

I looked at Intel Intel DQ77KB. It is a convenient to use for its on-board DC-DC converter , but it does not support Haswell and it is not cheap. Has Intel released a Haswell version for this Mobo?
I also looked at GA-H97TN, but its hackintoshability is unknown.
I found this post:
