After trying to iron out system instability crashes (the system boots but the display shows a gray curtain going down and crashes, all during the initial post installation work though) I've found that keeping ML vanilla as much as possible is best. Installing the nvidia patches through multibeast makes the system crash and tbh.. can't see why I need them. The ML/iTunes 10.8.2.+ update went well it seems.
ATM I have one nagging issue remaining and that is that I can't seem to get the bootloader right. For some reason no matter how many times I install chameleon or chimera it still shows the original iboot loader i used on my USB stick to install ML. I've tried installing the bootloader to my windows partition and to the MAC sys partition but the bootloader remains the same.
I also found bugs in chameleon wizard which for some reason doesn't like the GraphicsEnabler=No flag so I've edited it in myself.
System seems to be running ok now.. Sleep works, audio works although I have yet to get HDMI-audio-out out to work (it simply doesn't show up). For the moment I have my monitor hooked up via HDMI but the HDMI audio doesn't show up.
I've let go of the idea to try to install ML on the same disk as my windows install (my SSD). As it is it is sitting on a 200gb partition on my 2TB barracuda drive. All seems well.
My hardware specs differ a bit of the OP ones in that I've used 2x8 corsair vengeance memory, a eVGA GTX 670 FTW.
If anyone could shed some light on how to get the HDMI audio working I would appreciate it.

Actually I was wrong on the bootloader... I thought I had set bios to NOT boot from the USB stick but it was. Without the stick I get a bootmgr error, not being able to find it.. Haven't found a solution yet.
