Just a minor point...
...but did they HAVE to stick the OEM certificate there? Instead of under the base, or something?

Nice but sluggish
I got one of these a few days ago. Everything is great about it except it's a bit sluggish. I find it especially noticeable when flash animations are playing on a website. I kind of wish I went with a Dell Zino now instead so I could of got a bit more power.

Close
These small form factor PCs are getting ever closer to the ideal media centre PC and this is almost perfect, except - why a DVD drive? If this had a blu-ray drive then I'd probably buy it. Whilst it's relatively straightforward to rip DVDs and store them on a Home Server or NAS, Blu-rays are a bit harder and having a drive would also be useful for rented discs from Lovefilm.
