If you're in the U.S. or in Canada… well, installing Mac OS X on a non-Mac computer seems to be illegal. (That's what I've heard…) Here where I live, Austria in Europe (it's south of Germany – there are no kangaroos in Austria), installing Mac OS X on a non-Mac computer is in fact legal, provided one has obtained a license to use Mac OS X. Just like you say, Apple may not be happy with this, but this is the law in my country, so I can do it – legally. So I did. And when you do too, then you will find out that Mac OS X is in fact not made for standard PCs. If your hardware is close to 100% of what Apple uses in their Macs then you have a good chance it will work, but some devices (like wireless LAN, bluetooth or, in a worst case, the graphics cards) may not have proper kexts available and thus don't work properly. Just my experiences.
