I built an open-frame water-cooling wall desktop on a Thermaltake Core P3 case, mainly for decorative and aesthetic purposes.
I use my computer for everyday work. I am not a game player and I do not need much computing power. Therefore, I used some parts of the old Hackintosh/Windows desktop (dualbooting) to upgrade the system to Ventura and the bootloader to OpenCore.
Windows were installed on the first partition of the disk, and MacOS was installed on the second partition according to Dortania's guide Dortania
I used EFI and settings were based on ideas of DERBALKON project for MSI B360M (please refer to the details: https://github.com/derbalkon/B360M-CoffeeLake-Hackintosh THANK YOU!)
MacOS was installed without any problems. I introduced a boot menu in the config.plist to enable DualBooting. OpenCore starts from USB.

I adapted the system to my hardware:
RealtekRTL8111.kext:Ethernet 1GB MiezeRTL8111 .USBMap.kext:I mapped the USB following the guide at: https://github.com/corpnewt/USBMap. I did not manage to map the USB3 port MB to the front panel, as my MB has a damaged slot.

DeviceProperties -> layout.id -> 87 (for audio codec Realtek ALC887 ).
-
Other PCI entries for the Raedon RX 460 audio decoder, Wifi/BT Broadcom BCM4360, LAN Realtek RTL8111H, were detected by OpenCore Configurator (be careful, this tool seems easy to use, but it can mess up).
- SMBIOS iMac 19.2
PowerOff via on/off button front panel - I don't know how to fix it The waking up only works via the on/off front panel - but for me this is not a disadvantage because the fans do not turn on when the keyboard and mouse are hit.
Everything apart from above, INCLUDING APPLE MUSIC AND APPLE TV!!!! There are no DRM problems
