Awesome build, Which version did you flash your BIOS to for that motherboard to work? EDIT: sorry, dumb question I misread...

Is there any other case besides the cooler master you would use?

I am very convinced on trying this build but before jumping the gun, I was wondering if the GPU is working without error? DId it work OOB?

Is this a solid build in terms of high end video editing? Im doing this exact build.

Is this build still good for lion 10.7.x

Have you attempted to see the problem of the kernel panic? Also, I will be setting up a dual boot on this system and I wanted to know if it was feasible with 10.7.2

Where did you get that case? That thing looks amazing and efficient!!

yeah no point... I have the same graphics as you on my laptop... the SL leopard does work...but I could never get my graphics to function... and it took me 2 weeks of editing kext files to stop the KPs...and getting the dual boot right..oh brother... just dont do it...

I think you're set bro, everything checks out compatible when I google your stuff in the osx86 databases and tonymac... Good luck

Oh yeah, Im getting the case with 300W as I think that should about cover it. And , I will be getting another ram stick... Im kind of anxious... I have installed SL on my old hp desktop before and my laptop (laptop did not go well, messed the system up a bit after intensive kext editing) anywho...

oh and I see you are using the APEX black case but I keep reading about over heating issues with it? I am in love with that case but the problem is, I dont know how far I will go in order to get adequate cooling.

Well.... Ive never been a huge fan of internal graphics so its not a viable option for me to get the graphics card? I do intend to do gaming and I feel this card will adequately fit those needs... I dunno...

Im pretty much set on that card =/ but thanks for the tip. Also, How about using a toshiba slime drive then? Does everything else look good for lion?

I have been doing copious amounts of forum reading and digging and so far I have found these parts to be the most optimal if I am to attempt to create a Mini Mac around a $550 budget. 2TB seagate Drive (already have it) Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H61N-USB3 Intel H61 Express Chipset Mini ITX...
