Here is my next computer. The Zotac ZBOX Intel Atom D525 1.8 GHz Dual Core with Blu-ray All-in-One Mini-PC. This little baby packs a punch an is only "7.36 x 11.02 x 1.5". Besides the small size, it looks like something out of the latest Star Trek movie. If you would of told me I could have a computer this small, that plays Blu-Ray discs and boots in a few seconds.....I would have said "sure and pull this other leg and it plays Jingle bells" (a quote from my favorite TV character Johnny Drama). Beside the specs below, it also has space for a 2.5-inch SATA hard drive (drop a OCZ Vertex 3 SSD and watch it scream). Here are the specs:
