So, I'm sorta looking for a small computer to stick behind my TV in the living room. I just want it to beable to play my iTunes library and have the internet on my TV.

Something like this looks neat... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883108536

or perhaps... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103368

or even... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883220050

Anyone have anything similar or know of other stuff? I just want something small with HDMI and at least a 250GB hard drive. Thanks.

Get really creative and go with a rasberry pi box. I know it can support up to 1080p and sold out within hours. That's all I know.

It's about the size of a credit card.

I don't want my living room to look like a droid workshop! It is a pretty cool thing though. Only $35, might buy one for the hell of it.

It wouldn't look like a droid workshop, look at how small that thing is, tell me you couldn't conceal that thing easily enough. :)

Oh, I'm going to get one only because it is insanely cheap. It isn't exactly what I want though, so I am still looking for a umm... "real" nettop.

Maybe the new AppleTV?

$100, seems like exactly what I'm sorta looking for.
