Should I build a hackintosh?

Hay /comp/,

I have money to throw around and I want a better mac than my Mini. However, I am not homosexual yet so I can't buy an overpriced box from Steve. I'm thinking of making a custom-built Hackintosh, but I can't figure out whether it's a good idea to do it because all the osx86 information available on the Internets seems to be outdated so I don't know what to expect in terms of very long-term stability and annoyances. (would I be still be able to update the software regularly in 3 years for example?)

Here's what I need from that computer:
1. Running the last major version of OS X at all times
2. Running Parallels
3. Running Opera
4. Supports dual-screen
5. Supports about 20 USB devices at the same time (told you about the money thing) - stupid mini whines about it no matter what setup of powered hubs I use

Should I build it or bend over? Your opinion is appreciated.

There are multiple alternatives, just like in Windows. (They also all suck, just like in Windows, so you should eventually find yourself moving back to the dock and understanding\appreciating it if you do ever use OS X.
