Installation tip 1: Set motherboard BIOS to SATA AHCI mode and onboard video memory to Auto. You should have no problems booting up and installing OSX with Unibeast + Lion USB.
Installation tip 2: After booting into OSX for the first time, read and follow this guide to create a custom DSDT. viewtopic.php?f=14&t=35559. Use DSDT Editor to extract a stock, unmodified DSDT, then apply the following patches (all available from link above)
- H67M-ITX motherboard patch
- ALC892 audio patch
- Shutdown patch
Hardware notes: Motherboard has 4 SATA ports (2 x SATA2 and 2 x SATA3) to accommodate all your drives. Case holds one 2.5" drive, one 3.5" drive and one SLIM optical drive. Perfect if you're looking to an OS drive + larger storage drive + slim optical drive combination. The aluminum front panel finish on the SG06 is very nice to the touch and really improves the overall appearance compared to the similarly designed SG05. The power supply rated at 450watt 80-PLUS provides plenty of juice for an upper mid-range graphics card and the case is designed to accommodate single or double width PCI-E.
MultiBeast Configuration for Lion 10.7.2
Update April 2012 --
Added an MSI Cyclone Radeon HD 6850 PE/OC

DVI works OOB with GraphicsEnabler=yes. Fully recognized as "AMD Radeon HD 6850 Series 1024 MB." HDMI works if you change bootflags to GraphicsEnabler=yes AtiConfig=Bulrushes AtiPorts=4, but this results in the card being detected as AMD Radeon 6xxx Series, which may cause issues with some games or programs.
Updated motherboard BIOS to samisnake's modified ASRock H67M-ITX v1.30
