I can say I have seen firsthand a Dell Inspiron Mini 9 running OS X. The install process is relatively easy - although it hearkens back to the old floppy disk days insofar as a couple of optical media swaps are necessary. And you have to get ahold of a boot CD that will fool the Leopard retail installer into running on the non-Mac hardware.
That said, it seems to be an adequate and capable machine. The built-in camera even works, although Photo Booth checks some other hardware and refuses to run. But the camera works in iChat; and the wireless card also just works. It's almost like a Mac... Only with awkward keys and a scrawny screen.
