    Here at Snazzy Labs, we found the Apple Mac Mini 2018 pretty disappointing. The CPU had poor thermal paste application, experienced thermal throttling, and was pretty bad value with just 128GB of storage. For less than $500, we built a hackintosh using an 8th gen Intel NUC. It's smaller, faster, cooler, and cheaper than the Mac mini and it runs macOS Mojave like a champ. What more could you ask for?

      I completed mine (although I still have an issue with ethernet but that should not be too hard to solve.) Check Morgonaut on UA-cam to get a basic idea on to install MacOS on a hackintosh. Tonymacx86 has some install and component guides, there are great resources on Reddit too. Bear in mind the components you choose have to be compatible. I struggled for a week because it turned out the SSD I had chosen was not compatible. If you dedicate enough time, you should manage rapidly.

      I just completed a build, it took a while dont let the easy peasy attitude of the video fool ya, it took about 8 hours in total, I beefed up the parts I got the Intel NUC8i7BEH, Samsung 970 EVO, and 32GB of DDR4 Ram, everything works except for the wi-fi, which is not really a problem becasue my main server is Linux and its hard wired too, so I have a router in the room.

Everything else is working very well except for sleep. I put it to sleep and it immediately wakes back up. Did you get the sleep to work on your build?

    But what build would you reccomend now, the hack mini with the streacom case or this one? I think price-to-performance ratio of the processor is better on the streacom build, but the nuc provides such an easy and cutting-edge experience! I will think aubout it a bit more and than probably build one of them for myself.
    Thank you so much, your videos are always so helpful!

    Putting together an iNUC has been super simple since the 6th gen Skylake processors. I recently put together a Skull Canyon iNUC with 16GB of RAM, and dual SSDs for less than the entry level Mac Mini (thank you Black Friday), and I also get a hyper-threaded i7 quad core on top of Iris Pro graphics. Throw in some tuning in the BIOS, and it's a performance monster.

    But I also run it through a Dell docking station for my monitors, so it pushes HDMI sound through Dells drivers.

  • @lgude

    Point well made, that NUC is an attractive build, but I wouldn’t do It myself right now because I am coming off a Haswell based Hackintosh build I did in response to the 2014 Mac mini. It still works and I can live with the sound being flakey, but managing a Hackentosh ends up being a nuisance I don’t want in my life. So I got the i5 2018 Mini with 16 gigs and a TB SSD. It cost way too much but I’m glad Apple made it. I'm promoting the Hackentosh to a Linux machine and since I use Openshot for video editing I have the luxury of seeing if the Mac or Linux version works best. So far I have seen no sign of throttling on the i5 in the Mini but I will install some monitoring software. So far the Mini seems to have SSD speed better than any I have seen before. If I didn’t have my old tower I’d go right out an buy this NUC for my Linux machine. Really clear helpful video.

    • @UrbanWoodAlliance
      @UrbanWoodAlliance 5 років тому +1

      Ditto, having built and maintained a couple of Hackintoshes in the past I am willing to pay a significant premium to avoid the ongoing hassle. That said, the NUC build is pretty darned attractive, and Apple is approaching - or may have passed the point - where the premium they charge amounts to price gouging. My 4 year old $2750 MacBook Pro is giving me problems now and may require a new motherboard $$$! Not something I expected. Unless things change, I will be looking to reduce my reliance on their products in the future. As it is, I have replaced my iPad with an Android tablet, and have used Android phones for years now, and am quite happy with them. Weaning myself off the Macs will be harder, but is something I am preparing for.
