Yes, it's possible, and now it's easier than ever. Using a retail Leopard DVD, I installed Mac OS X on my PC hardware (self-built computer). This is NOT a Mac machine, it's a normal PC machine that used to run Vista, but now it runs Mac OS X 10.5.6 (latest updates through Software Update). Check out just how stable it is!
Installed Leopard via the BOOT-132 boot loader method (disc swapping method). NO distributions were used, just a retail Leopard DVD.
I've acquired a mac osx leopard DVD from the store. I have been looking around at people's computer setups to find what i should buy.
And i'm REALLY interested in using pc components to allow me to run Leopard.
I'd appreciate it if you could share your pc setup with me.
Thanks-
I am getting an intel i7 with nvidia 260 ,how do you know if it will work? any ideas thanks.

ASUS P5K-V
Intel Core 2 Duo 3GHz
8GB RAM
nVidia 8800GT 512MB
1TB HDD + 500GB HDD (SATA)
Buffalo WiFi PCI Card
Installation method: BOOT-132 disc swapping using retail Leopard DVD (10.5). Updated to 10.5.6 via Software Update.
Current problems:
- Occasionally mouse must be unplugged and plugged back in after boot-up
- Sleep broken / shutdown requires a hard shutdown after the OS stops (hold the power button)
Oh, I forgot to mention that I installed Leopard 10.5 (the first release of Leopard) from my original DVD. I updated all the way to 10.5.6 using Software Update without a single hitch.

I think everyone saw the news. Up until recently, you had to use a hacked distribution, and Software Update wasn't available. Now with the retail DVD install method and better user-knowledge, it's pretty darn stable.
BTW, I own an iBook G4, iMac, and Macbook. Sold an old iBook G4 too.
Congratulations, however, people have been doing this for years - welcome to the pile!
Also, as a hackintosh user myself for about 18 months, Id recommend saving for a proper Mac - yes they are more expensive, but they're coming down in price these days, no bootloader worries, no update worries etc.
