I just finished setting up a new system this morning that I specifically bought the motherboard for and the install was flawless! The motherboard I used is a Foxconn G41MXE-V which cost me $45. Pair that with 4gb Kingston DDR3, E5500 dual core CPU, EVGA 8800gts 640mb, WD Black 750mb HDD, and a 24x Samsung DVD-RW and every single component worked perfectly. I'm running Chameleon v2.0 RC5 bootloader, NVEnabler, and Realtek RTL8169 driver. Just make sure you disable legacy USB in the bios or it will hang.

Even though most people go with gigabyte boards, I figured since Apple uses boards made by Foxconn in all their machines, there have to be some retail Foxconn boards that have perfectly matching components. And to my surprise, this board installed OS X without a hitch. No kext editing, no custom drivers, and no banging my head against the desk trying to find out why networking is non-functional. (like during a previous attempt using an Asus board.)
Where did you buy the board?
Which version of osx did you use?
Which guide did you follow?
