If you're in the market for a new desktop, I couldn't agree more with the suggestion of a hackint0sh. After fiddling with difficult laptop installs ~2006, I seized the opportunity to jump back in last Black Friday and have been working on a remarkably stable/powerful desktop at a fraction of a Mac Pro cost thanks to the resources/community over at http://www.tonymacx86.com http://www.tonymacx86.com . With their monthly buying guides (recommending compatible, proven hardware) and their installation tool, it was an incredibly easy process. (Personally, triple booting with Linux for coding fun, Windows for games, and Mac for the majority is great).
The one thing you give up, of course, is the guarantee of future compatibility. That said, there is some security in hardware working in 10.9, likely working with 10.10+ (or w/e Yosemite is) just as old Mac's working with future OSX versions, with the additional ability to easily swap/upgrade components.
