There is a chip on the Mac logic boards that OS X looks for in order to run/install.
Kind of a similar concept to Windows OEM discs that are built to recognize the target box that the disc shipped with and only allow installation on that manufacturers box.
So to get OS X to run on a non Mac you need a hacked installer that does not look for the chip or a patch that tricks the installer into thinking the chip exists.
