Thought I'd chime in since I seem to have a similar setup as OP (judging by his avatar profile). Ran software update 10.8.2 downloaded though App Store, on top of Mountain Lion 10.8.1. Mountain Lion 10.8.1 was installed with Unibeast on a new SSD. Build based on CustoMac Buyer's Guide 2012...

Partly answering myself here: changing the resolution in the theme file does seem to change the resolution of the Apple logo screen that follows shortly after the bootloader. /Extra/Themes/Default/theme.plist <key>screen_width</key> <string>2560</string> <key>screen_height</key>...

I would love to know this as well. I'm on a Apple Cinema Display and the logo doesn't look very nice, it's blurry like the UEFI boot screen. I tried adding the following to the plist, based on this article: http://www.tonymacx86.com/34-booting-like-apple-mac-1-apple-splash-screen.html...

Something I forgot to mention: One problem often mentioned about the Corsair 650D is that it has USB3.0 "pass throughs" for the front panel. So you have two cables *within* the case with connectors just as the ones that you're supposed to connect from outside. Some people "route" these all the...

Thanks. On loading the program said I had two hubs: 2 devices found: (0) V/PID = 2109/0810, FW Version = V9.50 (1) V/PID = 2109/0810, FW Version = V9.50 After the update, shutdown, power off and cold boot the version is the same. Firmware 0.95 = V9.5 I guess. My Gigabyte Z77X-UD5H was bought...

I got the 650D (revision 1). http://www.corsair.com/pc-cases/obsidian-series-pc-case/obsidian-series-650d.html I could have just as well went for the 300R. I wanted to spend a little more on the case and didn't like the 400R and 500R, because I prefer the "black monolith" looks with flat sides...

Thanks for the confirmation Mr. Louis de Funès :lol:

Very funny. Thanks... It's a paid purchase and a 4GB download, I wanted to double check I am buying the correct version... I see no mention of localized versions in the Mutlibeast guide so I guess it makes no difference which App Store locale I get it from.

Ok I may be going OCD on this... So I was going to download Mountain Lion.. followed a link from a web page to the iTunes store. It launched the App Store... which told me that "this version is not available on the UK store, please us the US store" (more or less). I relaunched the App Store...

Thanks. For sleep I meant the drive itself, because it's quite noisy :) But I got plenty of storage so I thought maybe i'll use it to make backups and then store it away. Hmmm well there has been tons of returns for the iMac apparently, maybe it was more prevalent in late 2009 with the new...

I ordered all parts now with a few changes. I can't make my mind about spending 900+ € for an Apple Cinema Display that has just one year warranty. :evil: Could you recommend any alternatives to the Apple Cinema Display? (under 1000 €)

Ahh thanks :)

The Gigabyte GA-Z77X-UD5H has 4 pin fan headers according to AnandTech review: http://www.anandtech.com/show/6108/gigabyte-gaz77xud5h-review-functionality-meets-competitive-pricing 1 x CPU Fan Header (4-pin) 4 x SYS Fan Header (4-pin) Does this mean I should get a "PWM" type CPU cooler?

Ne'ermind. So it seems I need an adapter card.

Somewhat related, are there compatibility issues with connectivity features provided on cases? For example I see the Cooler Master Silencio 550 has a SD Card slot on the front, would that work under OS X? EDIT: Thanks! Those are some good suggestions, pretty close to what I was looking for. I...
