Think twice with going hack route. It is "ghetto" type machines: they appear to work, but many little/important thing would not work right and it would be plenty of. Folks who are saying everything works are not telling the truth or simply, they do not know any better or they never had a real mac.
It's you who are mistaken. Once again, starting with a well supported logic board and there are virtually no problems running OS X, including Yosemite. I have a 2010 12 core Mac Pro with 128 GB of RAM in my lab for DNA sequencing work, a 2012 2.6 gHz quad-core i7 Mac Mini at home, a 2011 i7 MacBook Pro and a 2013 MacBook Air. Plus my two stable hackintoshes. So, I have a lot of experience with Apple computers as well. They are fine machines but, quite frankly, the 2014 Mac Mini is a huge step backwards because it increases the power gap between Apple's three desktops.
...so hack (20 x size of mac-mini) is about to be taken apart and sold piece-by-piece.
What is your logic board model?
Nope, Apple is using most IC not available in retail. You could barely match CPU, nothing else.
There are no HD5000 cpus available at the usual places. That's the biggest hit on hackintoshes.
Though sometimes Apple drivers would accept other IC, but none of it is tested or certified. "Works" in hack world means: GPU - I could see the picture
There are
far more and much better video card options for hackintoshes than there are for Apple's computers. It's not even close. You can even buy logic boards that support 32 or 64 GB of RAM for reasonable prices.
Audio - it works right after boot, then it disappears after sleep and making pops every time it plays sound after 10 secs of idle,
I haven't experienced audio issues for several years, and never with my two current boards, both of which are well-supported for OS X. You must be using a poorly-supported board.
BT - sure, what else? yeah!
No bluetooth issues for me. I use a $10 USB bluetooth dongle and it has worked great since day one. I don't have noise issues with mine, either. The only time I hear them is when Handbrake or Aperture are running. The only quirky thing about my hackintoshes is they use 802.11n USB wifi dongles that have their own software. It's not an issue for compatibility, it just looks like it was originally written for Windblows and then ported to OS X. Of course, if I wanted to, I could just buy an Apple Airport card and install it in the hackintosh with a mini-PCIe adapter. Then it would be treated just like any other Mac.
As far as I'm concerned, the Mac Mini was EOL'd with the 2012 model. No chance would I buy one of the current Minis. That doesn't mean they're not good machines. If one of them suits a person's needs, that's great. But if you want something much more powerful for the same amount of money, then a hackintosh is worth considering.
