Jay, just realised that is an AMD box. Don't even try. You'll end up hairless and with open sores from scratching yourself for weeks on end. Get compatible hardware in the first place.

Straight up, I swapped the i3 chip that was on there (i3 3220) which had a 2500 GPU for an i3 3225 which had a 4000 GPU. The 4000 is compatible the 2500 isn't. Non compatible hardware stops it from booting.

Biggest problem I had was getting a copy of ML to make a USB boot disk with. You can only buy it on line at the app store. I tried the local Apple Shop and they don't sell it on USB, so you need a working mac machine to buy/download it. Booting SLeopard from a boot disk, App Store does not work so there's the catch 22.

Getting that sorted and hacking uniBeast is the hard bit

But I could really get used to this. I like it. Got xcode4 incoming right now.
