Building a CustoMac: Buyer's Guide March 2013

[Pathaleon]

Does anybody know whether the GA-B75M-D3H will work just as good as the GA-B75M-D3P. The only difference that I can see via their website is that the D3H has the Realtek GbE LAN chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) network chip and the D3P has the Realtek 8111DP chip (10/100/1000 Mbit) chip. Any input would be appreciated as the D3H is much easier for me to get hold of.

Hi, I'm new to hackintosh and I'm thinking to build one.
Here is my first question : is there a reason why only EVGA graphics card are proposed in the CustoMac Pro configuration ?
Or can I choose Gigabyte or Asus ?

Glad to see the Gigabyte X79S-UP5 made it to the list. Some tough board to crack, but worth all its pennies, i.t.o Mac and Windows.

If you look at the separate graphics cards section you'll see six different brands
that you could choose from. GB and Asus are in that list. Any of them will
work in a Customac Pro build.

Yes it will work just fine.

nice guide. I think the Logitech K810 bluetooth keyboard is a good one to add on the list =)

The HAF XB is indeed a great case for a build if you have the space. Super easy build and the great airflow dropped my temps from 56 at idle to mid 30s. The old case was far too cramped, and I replaced the Intel cooler with a nice CoolerMaster.
