What can a Hackintosh do that a real Mac can't?

I'll start off.

1. My Hackintosh can be powered up with WOL.
Macs can only be waken from sleep with WOL. They can't be turned on remotely when in a power-off state unless the Mac supports Lights Out Management (LOM). LOM is only available in XServes and Mac Pros. Score one for the Hackintoshes.

you can add all sorts of bling to your hackintosh -- colored PSU/SATA cables, tubes running coolant in a rainbow of colors, flashing RAM, ...
