Comments:

It’s an old build that was originally for Snow Leopard, but I thought it was about time I should put post about my current build.

Getting the parts now could be quite a problem without resorting to ebay. The motherboard for example is the LX version not the actual model I have but they should work exactly the same (looks the same as mine).

Also not sure about the solid state drive, I bought mine second hand off ebay nice and cheap but its roughly the same model number, either way most SSD’s are compatible.

Install Method.

1 - Install 10.7 using Tonymac's Unibeast method
2 - Install 10.7.3 Combo Update - DONT RESTART
3 - Run Multibeast and select these below;

-UserDSDT – Get the DSDT from the database on Tonymac
-System Utilities
-Drivers and Bootloaders
-Audio – VoodooHDA 0.2.72
-Disk – IOAHCIBlockStorageInjector
-Disk – TRIM Enabler
-Network – Lnx2Mac’s Realtek
-OSx86 Software – Kext Utility

Restart and it should all be working 100%!

FAQ

My internet is not working?
If your restart your Hackintosh and find that the internet is not working, just shut down the Hackintosh and turn it on again (it can be iffy with warm boots sometimes).

The bolded MultiBeast items are UserDSDT defaults (see page 3 of the MultiBeast Features document which came with MultiBeast). By choosing them again, you override the default item you selected. . So, next time, don't choose these options unless you want to override a default item.
