Background
I'm building this computer for a friend. His purpose for the build is audio production and 3D animation work. I haven't built a Hackintosh in about 5 years so I'm nervous and excited for the challenge.
I'll be referring to several successful X99 build guides as well as this video:

I'll be updating this guide as I go, I'm creating my Unibeast USB stick as I type. Feel free to ask any questions or offer any tips.
What is working so far (after following the steps in that video):
- Audio
- Wifi
- Firewire
- iMessage
Not working:
- USB 3.0!!!
