These days a hackintosh can be built with minimal hacking so long as you buy compatible hardware - usually a Gigabyte board and nVidia graphics card. I was lucky to find this site - www.kakewalk.se - before I built mine. The iso download produces an installation CD which facilitates the installation of a retail Snow Leopard disk and at the end of the install you simply run a package which modifies and inserts a few kexts. I had it all tickety-boo first time and updated to 10.6.4 without any issues though the recent 10.6.5 software update has been a pain.
