Not sure of what I did exactly that corrected the issue, but with the latest multi beast versions using the latest LAN drivers and also changing my system def to a newer Mac Pro, and I can get a month+ of uptime without any problems.

I've been running a streaming media server off a Hack running 10.9.1 and OS X Server, on a GA-B75M-HD3 board. Since setting it up, I've run into issues where periodically, it'll drop off the network completely. This can range from less than one day to a a few days, but it invariably happens...

Repaired permissions, rebuilt cache, even tried ignoring the cache at boot and still nothing. Checking the disk shows its fine as well. I'm going to have to do a reinstall when the i3 gets here anyway to replace the Intel kexts I trashed, so if its corruption, nothing else for me to do really...

The thing is, I had the drive booting into OS X just fine, no funny business, before switching the ports. That combined with the fact it boots in safe mode leads me to believe its not the drive itself, otherwise it just wouldn't work. Like I said, its not a super important issue since it gave...

Yep, reapplied Chimera (latest standalone version even) to the SSD and have ensured the SSD is in the BIOS boot options as the primary drive. I actually had to reformat the HDD to get it down to a single partition, so I know for a fact its not bootable, and confirmed before moving the drives'...

Ok, fun mystery. The 210 died a while back, so I'd been running on the Celeron's integrated GPU using a combination of GE=No and ripping out the Intel GPU kexts. I finally got around to getting an SSD for this machine, cloned my boot partition on to it and made sure it was bootable just fine...

I'm betting these are just the tip of the iceberg with Haswell mobos. Z87, Z85, H87, Q87, Q85 and B85 are all socket 1150 chipsets, and since we've only really got a few Z87 (and a single gigabyte H87 I think) boards out now, I expect many more boards to hit soon, hopefully with thunderbolt...

Alright, tons of good news! TL;DR Its done, runs amazing and quiet, and is already deployed and happily serving up files to my AppleTV! I managed to get the Geforce 210 working; I needed PCIRootUID=0 for the card to work, in addition to the usual GE=Yes. The noise from the card doubled the...

Fun times! Played with the 210's fan and its working fine again, but the second I install it in the box, I can't boot. A -v shows me stalling at : utun_ctl_connect: creating interface utun0, until the system eventually does something and the display loses a signal. Its even happening when I...

Everything else is working alright, though I haven't tried sleep since I never want my server to be asleep. The 210 worked in Mountain Lion with just GE=Yes, so no issues there; the only problem is that my first 210 had the fan crap out, and now the RMA replacement is doing the same thing. My...

Got everything together, got ML installed using the integrated GPU, but then couldn't get the system to boot. Tried GE=No and Yes both, to no avail. Found a post elsewhere suggesting that deleting the Intel kexts would get it to boot. Did that and got it booted, though I'm stuck at 1024x768...

Shhhhh, don't tell anyone! We just got finished with several projects, from making a linux thin client network to creating an AD-authenticated network storage solution for students on the Windows side, so I'm taking this time to relax and have some me time with OS X lol.

I actually opted for the G1620 since Amazon had a wait on the 1610 and the difference in price was ~$5-8. 2.7 vs. 2.6, not that it will really matter for serving up files; remuxing mkvs to m4vs is going to be the only task that will be remotely intensive and even thats not real heavy lifting...

Everything but the RAM arrived yesterday, so I've been in a holding pattern til tomorrow when it should arrive. I'm contemplating moving some RAM out of my main hack to at least get the setup process underway today; the software part of this server is proving more complex than the hardware...

Awesome, thanks a ton! Ordered my parts this morning and paid $16 just to get next day shipping from Amazon lol. I should have parts in hand tomorrow or Thursday at the latest, and I'm thinking of making a build thread for the hardware along with some of the things I've learned hackintoshing ML...

Yeah, once I get a few more bucks, I'm putting in something with an HD4000 to take this from a pure server to the home media master box; serve and playback anything and everything to the AppleTV. Now, I'm actually thinking of going with the B75M-HD3 since its cheaper by a bit and I get some PCI...

Sounds great; the reason I'm going with the Celeron 1610 is that its currently around $40-45 on Amazon and honestly, for what I'm going to use it for, I need very little CPU horsepower. Most of these needs are being met with a RaspberryPi, but the features I want most (iTunes Home Sharing and...

So, I'm about to pull the trigger on a dirt cheap server build to provide Time Machine/File serving, iTunes Home Sharing, a Transmission server, and a few other odds and ends. Since the uses are going to be very low-impact, I wanted to go with THE cheapest components possible. There are only...

The CPU is an i3, so its not worth anywhere near to your i7, and since the mobo is failing, can't very well sell that one off. :-(

I've got an older hack running on a Gigabyte 1156 board, a H55M-USB3 to be exact, and for the second time now, the board is failing. I've sent it off once for warranty repair, 10 months after purchase, and it took several months to be returned, only to fail again after about the same time. I'm...
