Cheap? but stable for Xcode/web development?
Check out my Hackintosh#2 in my sig... Intel DG33TL Mobo + Quad 2.4Ghz chip you can get for about $130 total @ eBay. GT240 video card ($70?) Then add another $25 for an Optiarc DVD, RAM $30 for 4GB, some SATA drive PSU and you're in business. On board sound works, on-board FW, on-board LAN works. ... only thing that doesn't work is WAKE from sleep. So don't go to sleep. Pretty decent graphics for a little COD gaming.
I used this hack for the last 6 mos., doing production work, web and some Xcode/mobile development before moving on to my new rig.
