Dell Zino HD

If you're looking for a small (and stylish) computer you can use as an HTPC, check this Dell Zino HD.

Albeit small and relatively cheap (starts at $229) these Zinos hold some surprises inside. Instead of the traditional Intel Atom CPUs that would struggle in more demanding applications (such as playing HD video) the Zino relies on AMD CPUs, which you can upgrade up to a 1.8Ghz AMD Athlon Neo X2 6850e, and a maximum of 8GB RAM. You also get a dedicated ATI Radeon HD 4330 graphic card with 512MB, an optional Bluray drive, and up to 1TB HDD.

Looks like this little fellow won't have any trouble digging through anything you throw at it.
