Since the Intel GPU with H97 chipset is not yet directly supported, after install, you need to boot into safe mode(-x flag) to complete installation using MultiBeast. You'll also need to install audio and graphics patch:

Last thing to do is to remove kexts for older Intel cards, because HD4000 kexts will cause kernel panics during boot.
Go to /System/Library/Extensions and move all old drivers to backup folder:
Code:
mkdir intel_back
mv AppleIntelHD3* intel_back
mv AppleIntelHD4* intel_back
Now you should be done.
If you have problems with network missing, try installing alternative open source kext (can be googled quite easily).
If you have problems with Audio (I had a lot of noise in Chrome Youtube HTML5 player, Flash was fine), try using Woodoo kext as mentioned in thread above.
Last and only problem so far:
After waking from sleep with more then one audio jack connected, the sound is not working and I have to reload the audio kext or replug the audio jack. (The problem occurs both with Realtek ALC892 drivers and Voodoo audio drivers)
UPDATE 24.06.2014: Sound seems to work better with Voodoo kexts (less noise), and I partially fixed the sound issue. The problem occurs only when multiple jacks are pluged in. I have 4.1 speakers, so I have one jack for front and one for back speakers. When I disconnect back speakers, sound works fine even after sleep.
The machine also sometimes fails to wake from sleep when running VirtualBox machines, but I've seen this on genuine Macs before, so it's probably more general problem.
