The outer case of the ASUS Essentio CS 5110 mini desktop PC is made by applying high quality techniques, double injection, similar to that of famous Italian designer furniture for a luxurious feel. Then the double-injected molding is polished to create the crystal-like look to give it that beautiful satin finish.

Through the HDMI-equipped TV or monitor, the digital video and digital audio can be transferred seamlessly. That means you'll receive truly high definition movies and games that really intensify your fun. The CS5111 supports S/PIDF-output and is equipped with 7.1 sound output. By connecting to the user's 7.1 speakers or audio devices, it can deliver an experience of vivid surround-sound for movies and games. Operating at a mere 23.9dB, the CS5111's quiet computing experience is derived from the world's first 2-in-1 thermal module - creating the fastest and most reliable heat dissipation.

RE: is this good to hook to an HDTV.

Should be great for that. Reviews indicate it is very quiet, and uses the Intel G35 / ICH8 chipset which is capable of good 1080P. Lots more horsepower than the Atom based Intels that are in this price range.

The downsides:

- Some users have had HDisk destroying and freezing caused by overheating, their is a bios update that is supposed to help
- no windows 7 free upgrade (according to some users) we do not know why.
- not the newest chipset..so lacks some hardware 264 decompression support etc. This is very similar (but with a better hard disk) to the Lenovo Q700 I picked up last month new for $380....but the Lenovo has the newer 43 chipset, and the Windows 7 upgrade option,

But, for a normal user this would seem like a real nice choice for a mini home theater PC.
