Is the Macintosh operating systems for sale or download? I'm building a computer and want to put Macintosh OS X on it as the operation system. Then download XCode 5 from the apple store. Or do I need to buy a machintosh system with OS X already on it?

OSX is locked to Apple hardware. Or is it? OSX86 Project. If you build a compatible computer you can instal a hacked version of OSX that disables this. The most recent version of OSX is free from apple.

hmm..I'm not going to take the hack it route and have to deal with unknown bugs later on. When I start developing with XCode 5 I'll have enough code problems to deal with. I guess I need to buy a Macintosh laptop.

There are no longer physical copies of OS X for sale, the last version that had physical copies was OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard. Since the latest version, OS X Mavericks 10.9, OS X has became free for download on the mac "App Store" You need to be on a mac - borrow a friend's to do it, and go to the app store and download it - it will download the installer, and you can create a usb thumb drive from it (google it). Alternatively, torrent it and check the md5 to make sure the installesd.dmg matches.
-------------------- Everything is better than it was the last time. I'm good. If we could look into each others hearts, and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care. It takes a lot of courage to go out there and radiate your essence. I know you scared, you should ask us if we scared too. If you was there, and we just knew you cared too.

You can create a bootable thumb drive with the newer OS. Just download a pirated copy of the OS and you can make a bootable thumb. Check it out, you can google directions on how to do this. This can save you from spending $ on a OS and gives you the freedom to take it along with you in a small format not a clunky CD.
