Getting it to work could be a fun project, but I don't understand the desire beyond that. I thought the point of running OS X was that it "just worked"; if so a hackintosh makes absolutely no sense to me. Compound that with the licensing legality issues and I see no reason to actually bother.

Ah, but, see, after the initial effort, at least on the mini9, it does Just Work. The initial effort is also pretty modest, beyond the fact that it doesn't come pre-installed.

Even "Software Update" works.

It's also only $350 ($300 for the smaller SSD which would require greater install effort by removing enough to have enough free space).

For other hardware, however, I agree: it's not worth the bother.
