I decided to make a Hackintosh out of this build mostly because I want to get into creating music in Logic Pro. I didn't build it myself though. I actually ordered a custom built PC from the Swedish website Komplett about a year ago, having no idea of what a Hackintosh was. Up until now I have been using Windows 7 on the Corsair SSD. Mountain Lion is running on the Intel SSD and the WD HDD is being used as a storage device (formatted in FAT32).

I followed UniBeast Installation Guide and used the GraphicsEnabler=No command at the Chimera boot screen.

Known issues:
Computer won't wake from sleep, has to be restarted using the power button on the case.

MultiBeast Configuration for Mountain Lion

EDIT:
Just got a Belkin F8T016ng Bluetooth adapter and a Magic Trackpad, which worked perfectly out of the box.

I recommend you upload your images, like the MultiBeast screen snapshot, to your Profile's Album and use the IMG link to display an original size image. Be sure to make the album public, and use Preview to save it as web graphic at 72 dpi.

Hi! Sorry about the late reply. Did you follow the instructions correctly? Also, did you use the GraphicsEnabler=No command? I kept the GPU plugged in during the installation and used that command in the boot screen. The Intel graphics you're using could be the problem. You should also make sure that you're using the latest version of the software (UniBeast, MultiBeast and Mountain Lion), though my build is still running OSX 10.8.4.

Hello, what are your configurations for the CPU power management? Did you used a ssdt?
