It almost looks like an iMac. I'm looking forward to the result.
Just a note: I have assembled my DQ77KB motherboard into the Loop L5 AIO chassis and set the BIOS Video per the Loop instruction sheet; the "All-In-One Chassis" to "LP-215x (21.5)" and set the "Flat Panel Configuration Changes" to "Locked".
And I was greatly disappointed that my first boot went to from the Apple spinning gear to black screen.
I found by experimentation that I can boot with Graphics Enabler = No and Graphics Mode = 1920x1080x32 and get to the desktop. This then seems to work but with fixed resolution and no acceleration. Boooo....!
And on the bench this MB ran perfect without the Flat Panel settings.
MacTester57 - in your case, avoid the Flat Panel setting and do not set the "Locked" feature. And I am on BIOS ..43 if that helps.
I am sure that I will find the correct combination of BIOS and OS X settings and get this sorted out. However it may take me several days or even a few weeks to get this where I want to be at.
What does this mean? Well at the moment, I can not recommend the Loop L5 AIO kit for use with this motherboard.
Feel the pain, this is what is all about, making problems and finding the solutions...

Einsteiniac - Well good stuff but not the real deal. The panel will display non accelerated screens and this is without loading the HD-4000 kext.
With the device-properties strings, I do get the HD-4000 kext to load but it does not identify the panel. Of interest I have the DP to HDMI adapter to the HDTV and I do get a good high resolution accelerated image on the TV when the HD-4000 loads up.
I tried your properties string and list of strings from a post by dta at http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/61216-10-8-how-enable-hd4000.html.
To sum up the LVDS panel is not being identified as a display when the HD-4000 kext is loaded. The only way that I get an good non accelerated screen is with GE=No and GM=1920 x 1080 x 32 and no device properties key/string.
I will poke at it again tomorrow.
