Yes you can, follow the guide on Tonymacx86 to install OSX and use this thread on InsanelyMac for your specific platform.

Slightly off topic I remember that day. Hackintosh was my biggest mistake. Actually what happened was I wanted to build a hackintosh end up buying a Mac mini which is a mistake, I can't play any games, can't do heavy tasks.

That's why I have OSX running on a seperate hard drive, so if I want to use Ubuntu I have to swap the HDD on my laptop. The only reason I needed OSX was for one specific program. I liked OSX so much that I had to force myself to stop using it :\. People just have different experiences with different Operating Systems.
