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figure out whether it's a good idea to do it because all the osx86 information available on the Internets seems to be outdated so I don't know what to expect in terms of very long-term stability and annoyances.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.

HI, I'M RICHARD STALLMAN, FOUNDER AND CEO OF THE GNU ENVIRONMENT AND COMMUNIST'S SOFTWARE ENGINEERING PHILOSOPHIC COMMUNITY NAMED THE FSF. AS THE SEVENTH DAY WAS COMING, AFTER I INVENTED FREEDOM, COMMUNISM AND LSD, I WAS A LITTLE TIRED AND DECIDED TO REST. AS MY HIPPIES COMMUNITY WERE ENJOYING THEMSELVES BY DEBBUGING FASTLY AND EFFICIENTLY DUKE NUKEM FOREVER (BECOME IT WILL TAKE FOREVER TO ACHIEVE IT) WITH MY WONDERFUL TOOL GDB, 2 OF THEM GET AWAY FROM THE REST OF THE GROUP, A MAN AND A WOMAN, HIDING THEMSELVES FROM THE SUN UNDER AN APPLE TREE. THE WOMAN GAVE THE MAN THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT WHILE SHAKING HIS ASS FRENETICALLY, SO THIS MORON, SO DROVE MORE BY HORMONeS RATHER THAN NEURONS, TURNED HIS BACK TO MY LAW AND BITE IN THE APPLE. HER DEMONIC RUSE WORKED. HE BEGAN TO STEAL OUR CODE, SHOUTING AT US "NOW IT'S MINE AND YOU WON'T GET IT ANYMORE, AND I WILL LET KNOW TO EVERYONE THAN I'VE MADE IT, YOU'RE SCREWED FUCKING HIPPIES!". HE THEN BECAME OUR OPPOSITE, BUILD CAPITALISM AGAINST COMMUNISM, SELFISH PROFIT AGAINST COMMUNITY PROFIT, AND SOLD OUR WORK UNDER THE NAME OF THE FORBIDDEN FRUIT THAT TOOK AWAY HIM FROM US FOR 5000$ TO IGNORANTS OF THE REAL TRUTH. TO AVOID THIS TO HAPPEN AGAIN, IN A GREAT TORNADO OF WISDOM, I CREATED THE GNU/GPL LICENSE. NOW YOU KNOW WHY PROPRIETARY SOFWARES ARE A REAL THREAT FOR HUMANITY.
