Update: Display issues fixed!
This feels extremely humiliating but I have to admit: All "display" issues were caused by a cheap HDMI cable... I bought the cable from a local electronics store just because it was very short (40cm) and cheap. It works with all of my devices (PS3, MacBook miniDP to HDMI adapter, even my other two hackintoshes), BUT, for some reason it doesn't work with B85N.
Anyhow, I swapped the cable for a better quality one and voila, everything works like a charm. And of course, even the BIOS is accessible through HDMI now (previously only via DVI).
I can't believe that such a small thing caused such a massive delay. So, the project is still on!
Meanwhile I've been trying to shorten some USB 3.0 wires without any success. Is there a super short (<15cm) USB mobo header to USB port that you know of?
Glad it is still on!
For the USB you could use a mobo header to USB dual female and then try to find short male to female adapter or this lead is not too bad at 20cm. Shortening USB 3.0 cables is a pain though (I speak from experience) and in the end for my Haswell NUC I decided not to take my USB 3 connection to the rear and instead put two extra USB 2.0 connections there as they are much easier to work around the case.
