You could legally buy it in a store/online for about $30 or pirate it and dual boot it with windows for free.

You can't because they make Mac OS only work on the hardware apple makes, which means people buy their computers -> More money for them.

The OP needs to use something like hackintosh You must login or register to view this content. to add kernel support for his hardware, although it might not be hard since he already uses an intel processor although without hackintosh stuff like wireless probably won't work

The following user thanked gola for this useful post:

OS X Snow Leopard on VMware is the way to go. LOL easiest and fastest way.
