    If you're lucky enough to live near a Microcenter, they've got a better deal than that on MacBooks. Only sad part is that it involves a rebate in the form of one of those pesky visa debit card things.

    @Metaphysician: You can go to your bank and make a withdrawal on the card, getting the full $200 out of it instead of the rip off those cards tend to be.

    I'd love to see a performance comparison between these low volt Athlon's and the Atom 330. Specifically how the Zino compares with the ASRock Ion 330.
    Video's probably fine for Blu-ray on both, but for audio the edge goes to ASRock. It's got 5.1 over HDMI or Optical. #dellzinohd

    Would it be too much to ask for them to include an IR port? What's the point of making a cheap PC that can act as an HD media center but not let it work with universal remote controls without an accessory? #dellzinohd

    Yes. They're very cute. But why would I want cute for an HTPC?

    I'm more interested in an HTPC that is inconspicuous. Want to make something different than a Mac mini wannabe? Pack Wireless N into it and sell an optional mounting kit to mount it on the underside of the TV console.

    Leave being cute and ostentatious to Apple. Sell inconspicuous. #dellzinohd

    @onaclov2000: It's a USB A to USB A crossover cable of sorts. Not your typical USB A to B style.

    Which is still expensive. But if you're a normal home user, it's a convenient if not necessarily cost efficient bundling. #dellzinohd
