Cheap legal machines have been available for years... they're called used Macs. You can find a 1 Ghz G4 for less than the cost of that contraption, and you don't have to hack the crap out of it to run OS X.
Perhaps I should have put "a legal RECENT machine" instead of "legal machine." Sure, there are older Macintosh machines which can operate the current version of OSX, BUT I don't want an non-recent machine.
Saying "I modded my Apple TV to run the most recent version of OSX" is way cooler [in my opinion] than saying, "Yeah.. I installed the most recent version of OSX on a.. well.. G4..."
I suppose I should have omited "WHOOOOO" and "FINALLY!" from my prior statement, though. Good point D.B. I commend you on your ability to observe. I apologize to you and all who read this for being so 'unclear.'
