This build came entirely out of necessity when my main workhorse (a 2007 MacBook Pro) kicked the bucket. I didn't want to shell out a couple grand for a new Apple machine, so I two-day-shipped a couple of parts from Amazon and -- well, I'm hooked.
I've only ever built one computer, but this little machine was tons of fun to put together. The PS07 provides a nice layout for simple cable management.
I decided to go with the H87 chipset because at this earlier stage I have no interest in overclocking and, let's be honest, just about any new product on the market right now is better than the aging (well, now dead!) components in my MBP, so my standards were pretty low.
Installation
HDMI Audio
I got it working!
Following toleda's excellent guides on Haswell HDMI Audio and (more specifically) HD4600+/HD4000/HD3000 Framebuffer Edits, here are the steps I took:
Updating to 10.9.3
I was able to successfully update to 10.9.3 (note, initial install was 10.9.1) following these steps:

Installation
- Follow tonymacx86's OS X Mavericks install guide.
- BIOS settings used
- Restore optimized defaults[
- X.M.P. Memory Profile = Profile1
- VT-d = disabled
- xHCI = auto
- xHCI Hand-Off = enabled
- EHCI Hand-Off = enabled
- With this particular setup, no boot flags were needed to reach UniBeast
- Repair permissions, reboot. At this point I got boot0. There's a whole article on how to fix this, but what worked for me was (assuming OS drive is on SATA port 0)....
- Restart into UniBeast
- Unmount OS drive in Disk Utility
- In terminal:
Code:dd if=/usr/standalone/i386/boot1h of=/dev/disk0s2
- Reboot normally
