I have absolutely no experience with Macs at all. I am an experienced C/C#/Objective C coder though and I want to start playing with Ipod development. More for fun right now than anything business related although who knows what the future might hold.

What's the best way to run up a Mac OS? Do I really need to buy a Mac or can I just buy a fairly powerful Intel based machine and run the required OS (I don't even know which OS I need)? Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.
