If you want a MAC, you should have BOUGHT a MAC. You have no idea what troubles that you might have.
Read this links that I got from a GOOGLE search

If you're referring to installing OS X on a non-Mac system. In theory yes you can. Through emulators such as PearPC. Or there is a hacked version floating around of OS X that will run on PCs natively i.e dual boot.
Legally things are stated very clearly. Running it on anything other then apple hardware is illegal. The following is taken from my Mac EULA:
"This License allows you to install, use and run (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. {snip..} and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time"

It might work, but..
You can't buy MAC OSX86 seperately, Apple will sell only with a new Apple PC or notebook. Even if borrow any OSX DVD from a friend, it won't work, because of proprietary code, only Apple uses.
This link could be interesting for you, lots of discussions.. http://www.insanelymac.com
Good Luck

you can install a mac emulator.. But as far as an actual mac operating system. Not that I'm aware of. the hardware is incompatiable.

It's not practical. Macs can take Windows now, but a Windows machine isn't made for OSX.

If you wanted to install the MAC operating system, why not just BUY a MAC??

You can't install MAC OSX on this hardware. To install it, buy a MAC.
