I'm very seriously considering building one of these NUC hackintoshes with this Skylake special because Newegg has a combo deal to make a $400 system: http://www.newegg.com/Product/ComboBundleDetails.aspx?ItemList=Combo.2696633&comboType=2
At the moment I'm using a low-end 2014 Mac mini, and the 4GB RAM ceiling and generally slow experience are killing me. This would be my first build in more than five years, and I want to be a little cautious… I'd love to hear about Skylake NUC owner experiences, as reading this thread there seem to be some folks struggling to get video issues resolved.
If you own a NUC, I'd love to know:
- Were there any pain points in the install process that you wish someone had told you about before you built it?
- Are there any components which you couldn't get working?
- For those who have 4K displays, have you managed to get a scaled resolution like 3008x1692 or 2560x1440 working through the DisplayPort or HDMI?
- Would you recommend this as a first build?
Thanks in advance for your guidance and feedback.
