What to say: THANK YOU!!!

I bought a customac mini de luxe computer. I follow up to the letter this guide:

a) Deactivate Virtualization on the UEFI BIOS
b) Install Unibeast as described
c) Install Multibeast and select a DSDT free profile, selecting the driver for Audio et voilà

Almost as simple as installing a Mac, I remember when I tried this 5 years ago, a complete NIGHTMARE, now with the right components it's a piece of cake

THANKS AGAIN for this work, AWESOME

*NOTE: OpenCL is not functional using GK110B-based GTX 780 and GTX TITAN GPU models in 10.9. There is no ETA for a fix.
I want to buy a CustoMac Pro, and I haven't decide which graphic card to buy...
I will use Xcode,Photoshop and lots of popular games(this part leads me to buy GTX 780) , and I don't know that if OpenCL is useful or necessary.
Please tell me , Thx!

Thank you tonymacx86 for your buyer's guide and your installation guide. I built this week a Hackintosh with a GA-Z87M-D3H, and I successfully installed MacOS X 10.9. Very simple, very clean. 2 days, and it seems to work like a charm. Added "dart=0" on boot to use VT-x extensions.

Great guide...
Sharing my experience with everyone after following the guide:

Installing OS X 10.9 Mavericks on ZOTAC ZBOX-ID83-U
Intel Core i3-3120M Processor
It has Intel HD Graphics 4000
120 GB SSD
8GB Kit (4GBx2) DDR3 1600 MT/s (PC3-12800)

Some useful items:
1. Optimized Defaults in BIOS
2. Connected to old monitor with VGA but the installation stuck on the first apple OS X screen then switched to connecting to my TV with HDMI for installation (everything worked for isntallation as explained in the guide)
3. After that multibeast installation of (easy beast) + network driver (RealTek - Lnx2Mac's RealtekRTX81xx ...)

-> resulted in perfect installation (everything working (display, ethernet etc...) after reboot except sound, wifi and bluetooth)

4. Sound only shows AirPlay option with my 2 airplay devices. Where the sound plays fine.
5. Now to make the sound work internally. In Multibeast for sound used driver (selected ALC 892 codec (without DSDT). Built & Installed
6. On Terminal window -repair permissions like this "diskutil repairPermissions /"
7. restarted and now Internal speaker show up in sound and analog sound works

Next step working on getting HDMI sound, WIFI and bluetooth working...

Forgot to mention that I updated the BIOS to the latest version before going about installing Mavericks. All I did inside the BIOS was loading the Optimized Defaults as described in the guide...
