Intel NUC For Possible Hackintosh

[shauntir]

I've been contemplating trying to build a hackintosh and noticed a decent guide for using an Intel NUC

There's 2 that I like but can't tell the difference apart in terms of specs. Only difference is model name:


D54250WYKH
DC54250WYKH

Anyone notice the difference between the 2? Worth the buy?

Here's a full guide explaining exactly how to install OS X Yosemite on the intel NUC. It also specifies which model to buy as well as suggested upgrades:

I believe the actual size is difference. one if taller than the other.

Just rememeber you need to add HDD/RAM and wifi cards to those as they are bare bones.

@vinodh - that is the same guide I was looking at

I bought the verbatim ssd 128 Gb from one day only so I'm sorted with HDD. Got some SO-Dimms lying around somewhere. Probably will skip any wifi cards for now - will try my usb wifi dongle.

So from what I see, it is only size that is different? What about value for money?

Also be aware that the 5th gen NUC's are due on the scene within the next few months.

Thanks, should be cheaper then. May just hold out for now by getting itchy fingers lol

Not sure they will be cheaper, what with the ROE and all, but 5th gen does bring better graphics performance.
