Report on my build:

I assembled the hardware (see below) and used Tony Max UniBeast to
install ML which worked very well. MultiBeast, however, did not.
MultiBeast seemed to be running, but ended with an error. I plan to
use it with the install USB as boot-helper until Tony releases a new
(un-broken) version of MultiBeast 5. Is there an alternative way to
make the ML intalled HD bootable?

Hardware:
GA-B75M-D3P
Intel Core i3-3220
8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 1600, Ripjaws
500GB SATA HD, (recycled)
Antec 300 Black Steel mATX

It would be stuck in a closet, headless, so I'm not concerned about video or sound or sleep, but would like gigabit network. I will use it mainly as a backup server for an iMac, a MBP, and two PC laptops.

They have a good selection of cases, even server cases if that is what you want, plus motherboards and related components to choose from. If you want a used or refurb unit, places like Geeks and Ebay have a pretty good selection.

> As to which type of motherboard/system to choose, I would stay with those which utilize an Intel CPU (Core 2 Duo) or better. Of course you want to choose among those with a gigabyte ethernet port as well. Gigabyte boards almost always work well for a Hackintosh project, but others work also. Just be sure to choose one which is compatible with your needs.
