I am a first time poster, but I want to give a HUGE thank-you to the tonymacx86 team and contributors that have been a wealth of information in helping me with these builds and troubleshooting!! Thank-you!
I used the Budget CustoMac roughly as a starting point
This is my second Hack/Win machine using Gigabyte and Intel, the previous MB was the GA-P965-S3 and worked well, except sleep. This new set-up works great after getting through a few bumps installing ML from USB (had to use -X safemode) and because the CPU graphics is HD2500: I had to hook a monitor to the MB VGA AND the nVidia9600GT card DVI>VGA output to install ML and see what was going on! After installing audio and a few other things using Multibeast (see picture) it runs great, sleeps, BUT no USB 3.0, so I turned off xHCI so all USB ports work at 2.0. I do not have a USB 3.0 device to try yet, but have a USB 3.0 drive on the way. I read that the USB 3.0 will work, but are not backward compatible with 2.0 ...I hope someone figures that out!
Edit: Turned xHCI back on and my 3.0 drive is recognized on the front USB 3.0 ports, but no USB 2.0 devices are recognized. Also, darkwake=10 allows autosleep!
