Apple vs. Dell (quote, band, Computer)

I'm currently building up my own rig, primarily for gaming so it'll end up with Vista but I wholeheartedly want to get OSX onto it as well. I'm just really concerned that I've heard about needing haxxor skills to crack coding to install OSX onto a non-Apple PC. Apparently they have **** on the OS that blocks you from installing onto something that isn't one of Apples own so that whatever you do you HAVE to buy a Mac (unless you breach the TOS). That's the main thing that scares me about apple; the fact that they greedily cling to any monopolisation they can and purposefully make life hard for home-builders.

But you're buying a pre-made so that's not really a concern.
