Installation Guide : Intel Haswell NUC Core i5 (D54250WYK)
Thank you so much for your post. Everything is working perfectly for me, even though I am not using a NUC, but a Gigabyte Haswell unit, GB-BXi5H-4200, with an Intel HD4400 graphics card. Nearly everything is the same, besides from the bios, the ethernet, and the audio. Basically I followed your guide step by step, except I installed osx on an mbr partition, not GUID as for some reason it wouldn't work that way on the Gigabyte computer. This needed an extra patch for the installation I found on the internet. I removed the dsdt file from the files I downloaded from you too, as it is a different computer. For the ethernet I found a kext I installed afterwards and the card is now discovered. Not sure if it works, but good enough for any app that requires built in ethernet. Wi-fi and bluetooth don't work and never will, unless I change the card. For the audio I installed the latest VoodooHDA. Audio over Hdmi doesn't work. I guess with the mini display port it would. Unlike what people say, HD4400 works flawlessly, with full qe/ci. With this installation method it is automatically recognized as an HD5000.
The Gigabyte computer doesn't have a fancy bios like the NUC. The graphics card is slighty slower. It has no infrared port. The fan makes more noise. The audio port is only for audio out, it doesn't recognize a headset. BUT it can handle an extra sata drive, not just msata, which fits inside the case. Therefore I've got two drives in the computer, one of them with Windows and the other one with Mavericks.
