Dell Launches Tiny, Little Inspiron Zino HD
Dell has officially launched the its Inspiron Zino HD, an ultra-compact desktop that also doubles as an HTPC.
Measuring in at 8-inches square, the base configuration rings in at $229 and packs AMD's single-core Athlon 1.6GHz, 2GB RAM, 250GB HDD, a DVD burner, integrated Radeon HD 3200 video and Windows Vista.
Then again, with options for an Athlon X2 or Neo X2, up to 8GB or RAM, up to 1 TB of storage, an ATI Radeon HD 4330 512MB card, and upgrades to various different versions of Windows 7, the pricing does tend to creep up. That said, Dell has a pretty decent pre-configured option on its site: For $649 you'll get AMD's Athlon 2850e, 4GB of DDR2, ATI Radeon HD 4330, 500GB HDD, Windows 7 Home Premium, integrated 2.1 HD audio and a 20" Dell ST2010 widescreen HD monitor.

This looked like a smart choice as an entry level HTPC -- except that there's no TV tuner option! I'd expect to be able to add a twin DVB-T tuner if it didn't come as standard, but it wasn't even listed on Dell's website.
BTW, by "smart" I was describing the looks of the piano black model... I'm not saying that buying a Dell would be smart ;-)
Well I think Dell is afraid of that lawsuit following it and intel.
mr dell is kissing amd ass with this
Well at least it goes to show that the whole thing of Intel raping AMD is really over and done with.
Integrated 2.1 audio? And they're touting it as doubling as a htpc?
I'd rather have the HTPC I built a year ago.
It cost ~£300 and has what you need for a HTPC; 5.1 HD, TV card, remote control, etc
