I have built yesterday my 5th hacintosh. I have to say that bulding a hacintosh is not as easy as it sounds..
no every component is supported, even if it is supported with patches its not always stable.
even if the chipset of the component is "Supported" the implementation if its different then its not working correctly. you have to realy dig compatible parts tested from users form osx86project and its difficult to find them in stores.
So the only way to have a hacintosh is to build a specific computer for osx86 and have it as a pc for windows also and not the other way around.
Also do not expect the stability of any hacintosh as any real mac, or the comforts you have with an apple hardware to boot from any device you want internal or external that gives you the ability to service it as easy and fast if something goes wrong. and last but not least having a hacintosh with the same specs as a real mac the hacintosh will also be a bit slower, not much but a bit about 5-10%.
Also for people that want POWER try to build a hacintosh with macpros specs and then compute the costs, not only you will ended up with something more expensive for the same speed but you will have also something not so stable and in cheap mess cases, nothing to compare about quality and design of construction of apple products. Just watch the design of the airflow of macpros and you will understand.
so hacintoshes is OSX for poor men, but as most things in life, you get what you pay.
