You should look up things like Hackintosh, osX86, iAtkos, and the hack of the Dell Mini 9 into OS X. Research all of those things first and foremost. That will get you an idea of the hardware and the like that you need. Basically if you get something based on a Core 2 Duo, then all the major bits and pieces ought to work out well. I think most mainboards, RAM, and GPUs will fall into place. Again, hit up the Wiki page on osX86 though as I think one of the sub-pages has a good hardware list for you to check out.

You cannot buy Apple parts unless you are an Apple authorized repair center. The cheapest way to do it would be to buy a used one, take it apart, and put it back together. If that's not going to do it for you, you'll have to eBay all the parts from other used machines that people have parted out for a profit. Basically you'll be giving them their profit simply because they've already taken it apart for you. Seriously. Where do you think you can buy a MacBook Pro case? A MacBook Pro motherboard? A MacBook Pro trackpad assembly?

You're shoveling poop against the tide and pissing up a rope. It will get you nowhere. The cheapest way is to buy a MacBook, either new or refurbished. If you just want to build computers, then build a WinBloze and then sell it for cost. That will give the experience building them and may ever get you into a business.
