I agree with bobetter, the carnetix hardware seems pretty good (just bought one for the Mac mini).
I did run "hackintosh" systems for quite some time. Bottom line is: they'll usually take a bit longer (and more research) to get set-up and working if you put together your own system. Most netbooks will be a very easy install process, but do double-check compatibility before you buy a particular model.
Once you have Mac OS running and all the devices working, it's identical to a real Mac. The only difference is you can select any hardware you want, often for much less money. It's also worth noting that sometimes generic laptops even share the same hardware as Apple-branded computers.
Cheers
