Hi all.

I have a working Yosemite Hackintosh that I'd like to port to a different case and I'd like to use an ITX motherboard. So I already have a Quad Core i5 3750k CPU with intel HD 4000 Graphics and 2x 4 GB 240 Pin DDR3 modules that I'd like to be able to reuse. So, I am looking for an ITX board that has an LGA 1155 CPU Socket, is compatible with the intel HD 4000 Graphics and has at least two full size memory slots. It would be nice if it were under $100. Finding a new motherboard with the 1155 socket is proving difficult. Any suggestions would be most appreciated!

You might be able to find an H or Z77n-wifi by Gigabyte but it won't be under 100 dollars.
Probably not even under 200.

You'd have a better chance with something like a matx GA-B75m motherboard. Search for
one of those. There are some smaller mATX cases you could use.

I pulled the trigger on the Asus P8H61-I R2.0

I have a bit of brand loyalty to Gigabyte but this Board has everything I need and seems pretty hackable and right in the right price range.

Were you able to install the MacOS system on this? I have a windows PC lying around with an i5-2500k and this board in it that I'm wanting to wipe and install a hackintosh system on it, so I'm wondering if it's compatible with this mobo.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00906G97I/?tag=tonymacx86com-20 is still available. A Z77 would be better but even ebay is out of the P8Z77i-Deluxe board
