Your best bet is to purchase the actual Mac OSX. I did, burned it to an ISO image and went from there. I had nothing but trouble with VMWare, that is why I ended up using Virtual Box. You can run Virtual Box on a Linux distro, I am using Windows 7 as it is a work laptop. If you go down the hardware route, the challenge would be find something that can run one of the later versions of OSX Leopard/Snow Leopard.
