Building a CustoMac: Buyer's Guide March 2013

We recommend these specific Gigabyte 7-series motherboards because of native power management support, network, and audio. They are the most compatible with OS X and are the easiest motherboards to get up and running for first time builders.​

Not all those boards have OOB compatibility

Something I've noticed is that the CustoMac Pro LGA 2011 builds that doesn't appear to make sense...

With the i7-3960x CPU, the recommended Motherboard (in both Feb '13 and Mar '13) is a Gigabyte
GA-X79S-UP5 paired with a Corsair Graphite 600T case... When I look at the attached Newegg links the motherboard doesn't appear that it would fit in that case.

The Corsair Graphite 600T specs say it can have micro-ATX or ATX motherboards.... But the Gigabyte GA-X79S-UP5 is an Extended ATX (EATX) motherboard.

It would appear to me that the GA-X79-UP4 or GA-X79-UD3 motherboard would work, since they are ATX form factor...

Did I miss something?

Someone could confirm if I can install OS X on this computer?
Would there be any incompatibility?
