Then again one thing to consider.. Probably the biggest reason OSX is so much more stable than windows, is because Apple creates their own drivers and does a lot of R&D making the drivers work well with specific components. When you start using other parts, you run the risk of not getting the same stability.

While on one hand I do like to build my own systems, however on the other hand, I understand why OSX is stable and that's because Apple does what it does and uses specific components. Another thing to consider, is that most of these OSX hacks for windows end up losing some functionality on the PC.
