You're better off with this one from Newegg

It's basically an MSI Wind in a desktop case. Easier to install OS X on and it's only $135.
I bought an open-box unit from Newegg for $93 and it ran Leopard great but I had a problem with the power switch so I returned it. The above link is for new, not open-box.

Is that "Intel 1.6GHz Atom processor" better than the "Intel Dual-core Atom 330" on the Foxconn?

Don't know that, but I do know that it will run Leopard without a problem. Like I said, it's basically an MSI laptop in a mini desktop case.

The Atom 330 versus the Atom 230 is comparable to the difference between the Core Solo versus the Core Duo in the first Intel Mac mini. The 330 will be up to twice as fast for any CPU limited operations.

been quite time since someone has replied to this thread....
Has anyone had luck yet? I purchased one with out doing enough research (oops) and discovered this when looking for information regarding OS X on this particular model.
