I think you can set up a Mac on any strong and level surface.. :)

Or do you mean installing Mac OS on your PC? No, that doesn't work. You need a very special (hacked, illegal) version of Mac OS X and a PC with rather specific components.

The Macintosh OS is only developed by the short list of Apple approved hardware, so there isn't support for any motherboards not made by Apple. Also until recently the Macintosh OS was developed for PPC based processors (RISC), not the x86 based ones (CISC) PCs ran on.

As already said, you can't do that.

Unless you buy a new (specific models) motherboard and obtain the developer version of Mac OS X for Intel processors. Please google..
