Easy - assemble the compatible hardware, say that it is possible to install OS X on it and just sell it out that way. They could even have included their bootloader as a generic tool to assist in installing operating systems (I think).

The mistake they made was bundling OS X in the box.

Perhaps others will make that their business model
I suspect Apple would sue if a bootloader CD was sold with the hardware
Also you have many people who have never installed an OS and don't want to
They want to by a verified complete computer
So this clone/hardware seller would lose half his customers

There are a few proven hackintosh configurations with nVidia graphics cards and Gigabyte and Asus boards
