    If the starting price is under £300, then I reckon they'll sell like hot cakes.

    Yep, I agree, it's all about pricing and availability (though, what isn't?)
    Bundle it with W7 and a remote and they could help make mediaPCs become more mainstream.

    It's a box with components in it. Were you expecting a decahedron?

    This is Dells Mac Mini but with old components i mean common why use the 780G chipset and not 785G for the HD4200.

    Apple were not first with the idea of a small PC. They weren't there with the idea of an expensive small PC, I seam to remember think geek failing to sell those in 2003, they weren't there with the idea of a cheap small PC.

    It dosen't even look like a bloody mac mini.

    Personally I think this will have a hard time gaining traction against the Revo.

    I recently bought a £149.99 Revo, i mean we are talking beer money at this level, the machine is damn fine. Slapped a spare Win7 home license on it. with its 1 gig of RAM it does really rather well. Going to try it as a media PC for a 720p TV, and hopefully it will do well enough for 1080p.

    This is a fair bit larger and at ~£300 I'm not sure will offer enough over the likes of the acer/asus

    No, Mac Minis weren't the first, but are the top selling pc of their kind,
    so any new one will be naturally compared to it.
    Apple often takes a failed concept, and makes a success of it a few years later (and calls it innovation )

    Revos are good for what they are (low powered and small),
    but for the same price you could get this much more capable Acer desktop:
    Acer Extensa AMD 1640B Athlon, 1GB RAM, 160GB HDD, DVDRW £149 @ ebuyer
