Half the fun is rounding up the parts, putting them all together &
having the damn thing actually work when you finally shoot the power to it.
The software update thingy could be a problem, although I don't think
Apple's position regarding home-brewed computers running Mac OS is
going to be tenable in the long run.
And in truth, I'm not even sure software updates will be that much of a
problem for me.
I got to thinking about a hackintosh because some software I'm
interested in doesn't come in a Windoze version. But, it's not software
I'd feel the need to continually upgrade to the latest version. Install
it once, and I'm done with the need to upgrade.
Plus, it looks like Windoze versions are possibly in the future AND
Windoze alternatives already exist.

most people don't build them, they just hack OS X to install on
certain stock Windows-oriented hardware
a software developer friend with whom i went sailing a few weeks ago
has a hackintosh; he's gotten quite tired of it as keeping the
software up-to-date is troublesome
