Dear wildwillow,
Thank you very much for your guide, as well as all the others you linked to.
I have successfully built my first mackintosh based on your build.
Quad boot mavericks 10.9.1/mavericks 10.9.1/mountain lion/windows 8.1, gorgeous chimera theme 4.3Ghz on air, and MAC-ZFS.
I fought a bit with the analogue audio multichannel output, but once I got my head around the audio midi setup app I got it to work. I will attempt to get HDMI audio working soon.
As I dig deeper into the hackintoshing and system tests, I wonder if you could help me with some issues:
Thank you very much.

As I dig deeper into the hackintoshing and system tests, I wonder if you could help me with some issues:
- Chimera does not accept background pictures of 2560x1440 size and the system halts with a memory error. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug? I used .png files that came with some themes to make sure I had the right format.
- When I perform a shutdown under Mavericks or Mountain Lion, the system sometimes automatically starts boot again. This is random. I wonder if you have similar issues with your motherboard?
- When I move a window around on the desktop fast, the edges of the window seem to tear. Is this something to do with the integrated GFX card I am using, or is it the monitor (6ms). Should I increase the amount of shared ram in the bios?
Thank you very much.
