Hi Wesley,
On the option of installing Mac OS on a PC, I've managed to do it on a pals Dell Desktop.
Works fine. Install programs, etc, whatever your mac can do
Installed the same on an Acer laptop but didn't have the battery meter and network didn't work on it.
Depending on how your quest goes, you could easily dual boot it with XP and enjoy a Mac at a fraction of the cost.
Here's a site that'll help - http://www.taranfx.com/blog/?p=1204

This may not be the answer that you are looking for but you could try running Mac OSX on your PC, if you cannot bring yourself to part with some big bucks for a shiny new apple or leasing one . If you have time to spare its worth looking into Virtualization , it could save you some bucks in the long run .
Unfortunately, it is against the Mac OS X End User License Agreement to run the OS on hardware other than that provided by Apple. In other news, VMWare is a good virtualization product, cough…cough … not that it’s the best out there , but its my personal favourite …
But OS X Server is the only one that VM like VMWare and Parallels support with out "tweaking". There are several articles out there on how to get OS X Server client to run, on VM ware on your PC hardware … that is if you have a machine to dedicate , and the time to try this out .
You can legally download a 30 day trial copy of VMWARE from
http://www.vmware.com/products/ws/
You could ask around if anyone has got a copy of OS X server that they are willing to lend you… or you or you could try downloading a copy it around 6.5 GB .
Thanks
Vince

Hi Wesley,
With some very good advice from fellow skunks, I got to install iatkos (leopard I think), on a dell laptop.
The image is available on http://mirror.ac.ke/public_uploads/
The main thing to do while installing is to make sure you skip the cd check step.
And the rest is quite easily understandable.
I removed it because I could not get sound and bluetooth to work, but I think thats been fixed with ideneb.
Regards,
