The Mac operating system is only designed to run only on computers made by Apple (and for a little while in the 1990s, a few licensed clone makers). Recent versions of Mac OS X (the current Mac OS) can be modified ("hacked") to run on other PC hardware, but it still needs to be substantially similar to the hardware in a current Apple iMac, MacBook, Mac Pro, or Mac Mini, and there may be components that don't work properly (such as everything working, but not the wireless networking). So you need to look at the specific components in the computer to know whether it will work and how well. (This also violates the license for Mac OS X.)
