there is smaller yet. think they are sx150 models or something like that. contain psu, 2.5" hdd and some kind of heatpipe cooler, i dont recall a fan present. entire case is silver mesh and looks to have a mounting system to place on the back of a monitor much like classic sx/gx models. the unit i saw had no optical drive and im not sure if it could take one. had a perve at it when i noticed it on my bosses desk must have been in for evaluation as we are looking at implimenting dumb terminals. think it contained an atom btw
 
Just built a new mini itx HTPC. Its so small, I hang it on the back of my plasma. So whats the point of an "amazing looking" machine. IMO a HTPC should be invisible in both form and function.
 
My girlfriend has one.

It looks nice but underpowered for the money you pay. Last years intels integrated graphics, laptop memory and cpu etc.. Even the broadcom card for BD does a poor job with occasional skipped frames. Plus if you do anything intensive on it, it can get noisy. The hdmi / sound implementation is lousy too. With some screens (Dell 2708 springs to mind), the audio output can be distorted. Seems ok on most TV's though. Overall I wouldn't buy it.
