The graphics card has great cooling, amazing graphics output, not too expensive with rebate. Power supply is EXTREMELY quiet.
The mini Bluetooth works out of the box and does not need configuration.
The Alfa Network AWUS036H works great and fast on Lion with little tweaking for it to work.
Need to save for a wireless keyboard. I shouldn’t have sold my Apple 30” HD Cinema display. But no regrets, the ASUS VE258Q monitor shines!
I'm also still using the stock Intel cooler. I may go for a cooler if I ever plan on overclocking this machine. I built it with tight budget in mind.
All this won’t be possible without tonymacx86 and the rest of the great minds for this testing. Great work guys and more power!
Straight forward install using iBoot+MultiBeast+xMove. No additional kexts and tweaks. Running very solid folks.
