just go buy a mac mini. i wonder why people want to make epic work for themselves. and why hamstring yourself to mac software? nothing runs on it. APPLE itself will begin offering both OSX and Windows this fall on its machines even!

Actually the OSX on a non Mac machine was just speculation brought on from their debut of Boot Camp.  Nothing's in stone yet.

It can be done, but it's not simple.
Start here:

You ask if it's compatible with "things".
Software-wise:  no.  You need Mac-specific software to run on OSX.  Some software is sold as dual-OS, but not most.  Your PC games will not work under OSX.
Hardware-wise:  somewhat.  Some hardware (printers) will have Mac drivers available.  Basic things like mice, keyboards, speakers are fine.  More esoteric hardware will most likely have to be Mac-specific.

Hope that helps a bit.
