Daaaaannngg.. Heartbreak.. I think I miraculously have a working Mavericks drive, but it is buggy because I ran some Multibeast - Snow Leopard Edition. Three things concern me: 1. No audio wake/sleep 2. No HDMI audio 3. Cannot Boot from Unibeast post install (so no rescue) this is my biggest...

I was building August 2014 CustoMac Mini: GA-H87N-Wifi; Intel i3-4360, 8 GB RAM, TP-Link WDN4800, Optiarc DVD-RW, Samsung 120 GB SATA (all from the buyer's guide) and... I ran across ethernet problem. Downloaded the Multibeast - Snow Leopard, I think I used KextBeast (don't know what that does...

I got as far as the step where you update to 10.6.8 with the Combo Update and I did Multibeast. I ejected iBoot. I reboot the computer. Then I am in a boot loop. I see the boot screen that looks like iBoot, but it's my Snow Leopard installation, but a download bar is counting down and 3...

Motherboard: GA-H87N-Wifi Case: Apex MI-008 Wifi: TP-Link WDN4800 All I have left to plug anything power supply chords is the power header pins for "COM" header, "SYS_FAN" header, "F_USB30" header. The power supply that came with the MI-008 only has two MOLEX and one I four slot floppy...

I am starting to notice that. With all the wires (power supply wires, 2 SATA wires) near touching the cooler an the power supply a mere centimeter above the cooler blowing its hot air into the cooler, my CPU temperature on boot was 60 degrees C! This is brand new never been booted. I got...

The Gigabyte GA-H87N-WiFi I bought refurbished may be dead on arrival. These boards are hard to come by, is there an alternative? My build * Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI :banghead: * PCU: Intel i3-4360 * Cooler: Thermaltake Slim X-3 * RAM: Ballistic 8 GB 1600Mhz DDR3 * Drive...

I took the computer to my university and plugged it into the DVI port. No signal. Say it isn's so!!! I have never returned anything to Amazon. Any one else have a similar experience?

:-( I was so close to my first Hackintosh.. I bought a GA-H87N-WiFi, it was refurbished on Amazon sold by eWholeSaler.com. It came in an Amazon box with paper as the padding and no protective foam. The box inside the box was poorly packaged; the box with the mother board had loose peripherals...

I have delicately put together and taken apart the Customac Mini three times in the last 24 hours. No display to my TV monitor (HDMI to HDMI cable). My Customac Mini Build: * Motherboard: Gigabyte GA-H87N-WIFI * PCU: Intel i3-4360 * Cooler: Thermaltake Slim X-3 * RAM: Ballistic 8 GB...

Oh I meant, in order to install the OSX, can I use my Hackintosh (HDMI to HDMI) on my T.V. in order to run iBoot? Or do I have to boot from a computer monitor? Thanks again J, I hope to be a part of the community very soon. Learned a lot from the build, almost there..

I was wondering if my Vizio 39 inch t.v. is compatible as the boot monitor? Can I boot from the HDMI output? Can you only boot from the dvi?

I went ahead an purchased the Optiarc DVD Optical Drive, from the tonymacx86 buyer's guide. Will this read the iBoot CD? And thanks Adrian and jbamford!

Now I am at the university library, on the one of two Macs available, and in order to download Mavericks, I need an administrative account. So safe to say the suggestion of downloading at an Apple Store or a library is a lame suggestion. Considering buying a DVD-Rom drive, Going the...

I will begin building a CustoMac Mini as soon as my Motherboard is delivered. Completely followed the links from the Buyer's Guide, and got the CustoMac case: MI-008 Tower Black P4 Chassis with 250W Itx Psu+sata Power Supply. In an Amazon review, a reviewer suggests drilling holes for...

I did my own analysis. Was going for a Mac Mini 2010 (on eBay as of Sept. 2014 for $350, and upgrade 2GB ram to 8GB ram for a total cost of $450). But then I remembered, Moore's Law of computers (basically every two years computers get twice as fast). If I had gotten a 2010 Mac Mini, the...

Yes, the 2006 Macbook was the first Macbook, ever. Yes, I need to upgrade. Operating System: Snow Leopard 10.6.8. Processor: Core Duo (2.0 Ghz). Memory: 2GB SD RAM. I have the "Mac App Store" open, and trying to download Mavericks. I get this message: "We could not complete your purchase. OS...
