IMHO, this is really good deal for someone who is looking for a HTPC.

Dang. I just ordered one of these. It is being delivered today

These do look like they will make a nice HTPC.

Maybe I'm just really dense today but how do you get to the ordering page for this?

not a bad deal! Thanks OP

I like the look of them but wonder if it could be run on XP as our office software just will not work well with Vista

Cool, Dell stepped into mini PC mini-ITX market. With the coupon, the price is right. The main competitor is A-Open MP965-DR with HDMI (around $400) http://minipc.aopen.com/Global/spec.htm, but that one is a barebone (no CPU, RAM, Vista). Dell beats it hands down, just a little bit bigger.
The PC will be just OK for office (plus no dual monitor support, unless you add it with HDMI) and great as HTPC.

This one posted do come with HDMI, right?

Not really, Should do absolutely fine.Besides I would be willing to bet on it being upgradeable.

**Edit**
I just got a look at a friends Hybrid, He purchased his with the same specs, It has HDMI W/ Audio out, DVI, and a SPDIF port. However a heads up, There is no VGA, So you will need a DVI to VGA connector.
