Sometimes there is no better way to get something right than to fix it yourself. Back in late december I installed OS X on that Dell Mini 9 Netbook I purchased.
Back then there where some things that where not quite right, namelly:
- Random UI Artifacts
- Sound would not work after resuming from sleep
- Updating Mini 9 specific kernel extensions would sometimes result in corrupted EFI partition
- THere was issues reading SD/SDHC cards
- Units with Dell STEC SSD would not resume from sleep
- The key “0″ would be stuck after resuming from sleep
Thanks to the help of some very bright folks at MyDellMini and to DellEFI all of the above issues have been resolved. One could say that the Dell Mini 9 is as close to the real thing as you are going to get.
By the way, Gizmodo posted a nice howto for installing OS X on the Mini: http://i.gizmodo.com/5156903/how-to-hackintosh-a-dell-mini-9-into-the-ultimate-os-x-netbook

Could you tell me how you use a remote dvd on your pc?
I just built a hackintosh and I am encountering every one of the problems you list above except for the SSD sleep resume.
I have the stuck key, random UI artifacts, and garbled sound.
The link to the gizmodo how-to is broken. Can you give me any advice on how you solved those problems.
May I suggest you use the following: http://mydellmini.com/forum/how-to-install-mac-os-x-dellefi-method-t3925.html
You should find all that you need in there.
