OK, heard back from the seller and that's got an NV5200 card in it. Shame because by the time I add the price of a reasonable Radeon and the price of the OS, sure it's still cheap compared to X5000 etc., but I do feel it's getting a bit high. You never know, I might change my mind.
For the moment I think I'll stick with the Mini and just keep my eye out. Key is to get into doing something with it first I think.

Well, credit where it's due. I first tried MOS quite some years ago although I don't remember what version it was then and the experience was less than stellar. Back then wireless didn't work on the mini, and if I recall the experience generally wasn't too clever.
I tried 3.9 last year and having working wireless was a major improvement (I may have tried a version in between too?). This time I themed it to make it more Amiga-like (don't shoot me!) but ultimately didn't do anything with it.
3.10 seems to be a lot more polished. I don't think I've had any problems with it at all and like I say, Flow Studio is very nice icing on the cake so this time I'm going to try and stick with it.
