Ok ladies and gents - I haven't seen much on the interwebs in regards to this model's compatibility, so I figured I'd start up a new one.
Disclaimer - I am somewhat new to Hackintoshing, but am a 15 year I.T. professional (Windows). I am writing this on the above listed machine that I HT'd (OS X ML 10.8.2) 2 weeks ago, and it works like a champ with a few exceptions listed below.
My Specs:
Processor: Core i3
RAM: 6 - DDR3
HD: 1 TB SATA
Display: Intel HD Graphics - 2 GB
Audio: Intel High Definition Audio
Network: Realtek PCIe FE Family Controller
WiFi: Ralink RT 5390 BGN
So after many trials/errors/curse words trying to get my audio to work (had sound, just couldn't control the levels), using my phone as a WiFi adapter (because I couldn't figure out the whole kext thing initially, nor find one specific to my adapter), my DVD player not working, flickering video playback on youtube - I had pretty much given up. However, I don't quit easily, so I am going to attempt to do all this fresh using Mavericks with the latest Unibeast and Multibeast. I've got installing down to a science now, so I can make it that far. However, I can't seem to make any progress on getting the right kexts for 10.8.2 so, hopefully, Mavericks will treat me a bit better as well as updated U/M Beasts.
That being said - I am going to line by line my install after I complete it (which I am going to start as soon as I'm done typing this). If anyone has any experience with a similar model, or hardware, please toss any suggestions you have my way. I'm hoping I will get really lucky and most things will fire up OOTB - but I highly friggin' doubt it...lol.
I'll keep you guys posted!
