Making a stable hackintosh isn't as simple as grabbing any box and following a few steps. Oftentimes you're still stuck with a particular hardware config. Even the guys and gals over at OSx86 have a recommended HCL database. I built one and was not impressed.
Running emulators (VMware, Pear PC, et al) is not a panacea to installing OSX and having it run properly.

Yup, they're called hackintosh for a reason. I've owned three. Two of them AMD boxes. I had one that ran fairly smooth off a basic install, however a lot of programs would not function until I hacked the drivers and shit. Basically all three had to be chopped to shit with drivers and third party installs to get them running smoothly. The hardest problem I had was definitely getting the video cards to work as they should. Lots of times they were only recognized as 256MB, or would only allow 800x600 res until they were fixed up.
OSX does not run out of the box on just any hardware configuration, and that is a fact.
