Always wanted to install a little computer into your home theater but none of the available options are cutting it, what with all the giant media files and HD displays you’re rolling? Enter Acer’s Aspire X1200, which for $450 includes on-board NVIDIA GeForce 8200 graphics, an AMD Athlon X2 2850e processor, and HDMI port. Acer promises full 7.1-channel audio support as well as the guts to work with H.264, VC1, and MPEG2 and the spunk to output 1080P.

The whole shebang comes in a rack-friendly 10.6 x 4.0 x 14.4-inch enclosure. Of course, prices scale up to $699 based on your needs — the latter coming with a 22-inch display — but the base price will get you a 320GB SATA II drive and the start of what could be a sweet little home theater PC.
