I've never built a computer in my life, so a Hackintosh was one of the most daunting projects I've ever taken on. I was raised on OS X and had little interest in building a PC, but when I first heard you could build your own Mac I was immediately interested.
So I started lurking :)
I haven't so much as made a comment or asked a question in this subreddit, but it has been a HUGE help to me. It convinced me to bite the bullet and go with Clover instead of Chimera/Multibeast (I used the rampagedev.com method). It helped me pick my components and answer all the little questions I had prior to and during my build/install. So, THANK YOU! You guys are awesome!

Decided to take things further since I had a 256GB 840 Pro laying around. I installed Windows 8.1 for gaming and I couldn't be happier with how well everything came together.
Thanks again.
