Replaced the home 2014 iMac...

Pretty stoked with how this one turned out (despite a few kinks due to the 970 EVO Plus - pro tip: don't buy one, or at least don't try to install OSX on it, seems to hang at 15 minutes to go for no apparent reason).

The work machine is still running High Sierra (due to it being a Nvidia GPU, depending on how the Vega goes I might sell off the 1080 and switch), but this was pretty painless to get up and running. Haven't bothered with the Wifi or BT stuff yet, but I'll likely replace the card on the mobo if I can be bothered taking the whole thing apart again (H200i + AIO cooler makes this thing a bit of a nightmare to pull apart).

No special configuration required from the Clover side, just made sure it was iMac18,3 with the relevant details.
