Very quiet build overall!
I definitely skimped a little on the RAM, so looking back I would have definitely put it at 32GB - you can never have enough RAM when working with software like Avid!
Wifi card and graphics card are natively supported, which definitely saved me a lot of trouble.
Went with the Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO again for cooling, as it definitely seems like the best budget air cooler.
I haven’t upgraded from 10.9.1 to 10.9.2 yet solely because of Avid - there’s an Avid/Mavericks compatibility issue on 10.9.2 it seems.
MultiBeast Configuration for Mavericks 10.9.1
Changelog!
soon!
As always, I'm happy to answer any questions you may have!
