Fully working Dell m2800 hackintosh, with egpu support via expresscard

Well I say fully working but I still don't have a mpcie wifi card to swap in, but all in due time,

Anyways on to specs

Dell m2800

Cpu-4810mq

Memory-8gb(single stick plan to upgrade to 16gb)

Dgpu-firepro w4170/ hd8790m(depends on the driver's installed, Dell seems to be using the same chip for both the m2800 and e6540 with a different bios)

Egpu adapter- exp gdc beast 8.4(also recommend getting a Dell da-2 power Adapter so you don't have to use a PC power supply)

Egpu rx480

Source for egpu instructions,(I just modified his efi, replaced the ddst and ssdt and swapped to apple hda for sound) https://egpu.io/forums/builds/2013-15-dell-latitude-e6540-hd8790m-rx5804gbps-ec2-exp-gdc-8-x-macos-10-13-5-win10-nando4/

-webcam

Not working

-wifi

-bluetooth

-dgpu(haven't tried much to be honest)

-dgpu under windows(requires some registry patch, Dell really fed up something with the power states on the card and windows 10 and the latest drivers cause crashes with out disabling low power mode or something)

Will update with my spaghetti efi in a bit.
