Hello, I'm a novice so can't offer too much, except to say that you might consider an nVidia 640 or 650 card; I have the 640 and it is detected natively and I think it pretty much eliminates video-related issues. It removes one potential stumbling block and I'm really happy with it. I have the...
I wonder if the new Intel NUCs would also be a good choice, like the NUC5i5RYK:

It uses Intel wireless AC 7265 M.2 and bluetooth

I'm using a Dell XPS 8500 and it's working nicely from a Samsung 830 SSD. I bought a Crucial m500 mSATA card to use as a boot drive; the install goes fine, just like installing on the Samsung 830, but booting fails.
I have it set to start with the mSATA in BIOS
Has anyone any hints about...
I removed the wifi module and put in the recommended TPLink one, and have nVidia card. I strongly recommend both, they work OOB without kexts or anything. Here's my Multibeast printout and protocol:
After installing Mavericks on HD:
It reboots.
Turn computer off.
Restart.
At boot...
This may not help you, but I have mine working but used slightly different parameters or I would get kernel panic with a message regarding AppleIntelCPUPowerManagment. I had to add:
Patched AppleIntelCPUPowerManagement > OS X 10.9.0 Drivers
and I used Mac Pro 3,1.
So Multibeast looks like...
Skritch,
I have the Dell XPS 8500 with the nVidia 640 card. I can get it to boot from the USB, and from the hard drive if I use the -x parameter ("safe mode", no device drivers) but that's it.
Have you had success? What Multibeast parameters?
Thanks

I'm guessing that the 10.8.2 update overwrites some kexts or .plist files. I haven't been editing those directly as some of those here do, so this is out of my league right now. But one could make a case for printing them out before and after updating to 10.8.2, which might inform you of which...
Hawkscorpion,
Oh my. Nice work on the audio. Agreed, works. I have attached a screenshot from MB 5.1.1 that I used for my install. Plus Easybeast (I can't make a screenshot tall enough to show it all).
Note that I have an nVidia 640 card and I also added TP-Link TL-WDN4800 wireless card...
Lunarmouse,
Caveat: I am new at this. But I think you should first try leaving the GT640 card in. In my experience, it was detected and identified normally and required no drivers or anything else; truly worked "out of the box".
I used GraphicsEnabler=No but frankly not certain about this...
I switched out my ATI 7570 card in Dell XPS 8500 for an EVGA GT640 and it's detected natively and performs normally out of the box without any fussing. Nice to have no concerns about this.
Rumored: 650 series cards, similar, but with DDR5 rather than DDR3 RAM, should be a good deal.
