Really thinking about OS X on a Dell 17 inch laptop.

[gabester]

I saw the writeup on how to hackintosh a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 and might soon get a chance to see it; but I am more interested in a similar easy-to-install sequence for more powerful desktop hardware, specifically something akin to a Mac Pro Mini with several drive bays (3-5) and a couple expansion slots but without the $2000+ price tag. Laptops that are also almost as painless to configure - although I understand clearly that some hardware may not be supported and some software may not work correctly - would also be nice.

If I get to see a Mini 9 set up with OS X, I will report back here.
