Doesn't sound like fun to me at all. Sounds like a huge waste of time. And illegal to boot. Note this quote from the Mac OS X v10.5 End User Software License Agreement, (Source: "Welcome to Leopard.app" distributed with the Mac OS X "Leopard" installation DVD.) --- " 2. Permitted License Uses and Restrictions. A. Single Use. This License allows you to install, use and run one (1) copy of the Apple Software on a single Apple-labeled computer at a time. You agree not to install, use or run the Apple Software on any non-Apple-labeled computer, or to enable others to do so. This License does not allow the Apple Software to exist on more than one computer at a time, and you may not make the Apple Software available over a network where it could be used by multiple computers at the same time.

None, unless you buy from some under the table third party sources. Apple does not sell outdated versions of their operating system products on the retail market. Besides, all versions of Mac OS X since v10.4.6 have been Universal Binary ... executables provided for either PowerPC or Intel hardware. I probably have an unopened NFR copy of Mac OS X v10.3 or v10.4 (PowerPC only) somewhere around here that I could give you if you wanted. But it most likely will not work anyway, not without a lot of work. As I said, a huge waste of time. And illegal.
