So I got my new hack up and running relatively painlessly.

Getting it running was relatively simple. I'm using 2 flags to boot up: nvda_drv=1 and kext-dev-mode=1
What works
- Graphics
- Audio
- Wifi
What doesn't
- Bluetooth
The wifi card worked OOB, but I haven't been able to get the bluetooth on it to work (I haven't tried super hard yet though, so it may be a quick fix).
Dual boot works great. I had to disable the integrated graphics to get Windows to boot via Clover. Without doing that, it would hang. Otherwise I could still get to it via the motherboards boot menu.
