Added some pics of the customized 'About This Mac' to the first post.

In http://www.tonymacx86.com/buying-advice/56412-intel-dh77df-motherboard.html I attached my DSDT enabling sleep on DH77DF. Any further fixes beyond what I made are most welcome!

Great build!

Is possible to build a similar build but with h77n motherboard? I mean is it possible use that case and that passive cooler in another mini itx board or you need to have that intel one?

I also would like to add a gpu to my mini itx (h77n i3 3225) but I have afraid of dont have enouth power (my brick is 150watts).
Your system works good with just 100w?!

In theory any mini ITX should work but you have to be careful that the Northbridge heatsink and/or memory slots do not interfere with the heatpipes.

My system works fine with just 100W but I am not a gamer. The biggest picoPSU is 160W so that would be the limiting factor.

Wow,

What a beautiful box you have built. A far cry from the Customac mini I'm trying to get built if I ever get all the parts. I'm amazed that you can run this box with such a small power supply.

I'd try to replicate your build because it is definitely more of what I had in mind for my HTPC needs but, I'm sure it's a bit over my budget.

Very sexy....you should be called Fabio!

Hi Flavio.

Ever since my IMac 8,1 died last week, I've been trying to build my first Hackintosh but I ran into some trouble.

My system is the following:

1. Intel DH77DF motherboard - updated with BIOS version 107 (no patches).
2. i7 3770 - CPU
3. Onboard graphics
4. 8GB Corsair 1600 memory (one stick)
5. Sata 0 - 2TB Seagate 6Gb/s hard drive (running windows 8)
6. Sata 1 - 1TB Samsung HD 3Gb/s hard drive where I plan on installing OSX Mountain Lion
7. Sony 19" monitor via DVI (I ordered a Dell 24" Monitor).

At first, I was able to install OSX 10.8 to Sata 0 (2TB drive) using Unibeast in safe mode (-x). Whenever I tried otherwise, the machine would freeze at the Apple logo.

However, I was never able to get my machine to boot from the hard drive and could only log in if using safe mode (-x).

Since I needed to use my computer, I ended up installing Windows 8 on the 2TB drive (sata 0) and now I would like to try to make my Hackintosh work by installing OSX 10.8 on the second 1TB drive (sata 1). Is that possible?

What caused my system to not boot from the Hard Drive in the first place? Should I try to use UEFI instead of BIOS?

Thanks,

Marcos

I have quite the same setup, with H77N and i3 3225 together with HD4000, and only bluetooth trackpad and keyboard. I cannot get the sleep/wake to function properly, either by using the software or the hardware. The sleep is fine but when waking up my plasma stays black. I then have to force reboot...

I know about the bluetooth issue but even with a corded mouse the problem remains...

Any idea guys?

I don't think it works but I never use it anyway. Startup is pretty fast so I always power down.
