Its an H67 board and is working just fine for my needs.
The slimline DVD fitted straight in - no mods needed.
The display is of a widget called ISTAT PRO - free downloiad - and the drives are external connected via eSATA.
Using a GT430 Card works OOB
I access the Hack with multiple redundant methods
Screen Sharing (apple Remote Desktop)
Iteleport (from my Iphone or Ipad0
Logmein

You might want to get a copy of Disk Warrior. You can boot from it and then rebuilt your hard drive. Its a lot more powerful than the Disk Utility in MAC. Its saved my bacon on a couple of occasions.
I started a new build with the GIGABYTE GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 MOBO and I5 2500K CPU - this is my second build - the first being a Mini..
The issue I had was that I could only get video out of the VGA port on the board and not the HDMI (I could not try the DVI) at the pre-installation boot to adjust...
Well I did the combo update - after making sure I had a clone.
Rebooted and all is working as it was before!
To be safe I ran Multibeast/SYSTEM after the reboot.

I had my system working with the HD3000 then purchased this card

Plugged it in - switched the HMDI cable to the new card and it worked just fine.
Just make sure your BIOS is...

Thank you - great info.

Re: Guide: GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3 with ATI 6870 - Clean Lion Install
Great guide.
Two simple questions.
1. I am starting another build using the hardware listed in first post - except the video card. Gordo you mention that the card you used is a bit noisy - do you have any alternate...
If you have the original drive available - and an external enclosure - you might want to try cloning the original (using SUPERDUPER or CARBON COPY CLONER) - then replace the old drive with the new one - should be a breeze.
Hi:
Has anyone found a driver for the RTL8191SU in LION. The DL from Realtek is for 10.6 and I cannot get it to work on either my Hack Mini nor my real IMAC.
In About This MAC I see the dongle and in System Preferrences it shows when I Add a device - but it tells be its either not turned on...
Actually the HD3000 is enough for my purposes - I use the machine as a media server - headless.
However I am planning a build for my daughter and her kids and I am sure that they will want to use it for some light gaming (either in OSX or WIN) and I am sure that they will need a better graphics...
Hi - I am currently running with the HD3000 graphics, but want to add a new graphics card and I am thinking of this one from Newegg
GIGABYTE GV-N430OC-1GL GeForce GT 430 (Fermi) 1GB 128-bit DDR3 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready Low Profile Ready Video Card
