I tried that about 5 years ago because I was temporarily broke, already owned a mostly compatible PC, and wanted to do iPhone dev. It was a nightmare. It took like a week to set up & managed to brick itself within a year. If you absolutely _need_ a mac then just buy a mac. I've even recommended that people who want to make an iPhone app buy a mac, make the app, and then sell the mac again when they're done, because the alternatives, like hackintosh, are such a pain. If you don't absolutely _need_ it to be a mac then just go linux and save yourself a ton of aggravation. Apple laptops are head and shoulders above the competition, but their OS kinda stinks compared to linux, especially for power users(this coming from someone who's used OSX about 5 times as much as linux). Oh and those trashcan mac pros are insanely powerful if you really _need_ OSX on beast mode.
