This is so cool it’s sick: 
Introducing the Dell Studio Hybrid.

• IT’S SMALL
  Same footprint as a Mac Mini Combo.
• IT’S MORE AFFORDABLE
  Cheaper than a Mac Mini Combo. ($499)
• IT’S MORE POWERFUL
  1.86Ghz Dual Core Pentium, 2GB memory (twice that of Mac Mini Combo), 250GB hard drive. (3x that of Mac Mini Combo)  And it comes with Windows Vista Home Premium.
• IT’S CONNECTED
  It comes with HDMI & DVI ports along with AC3 audio, Gigabit networking, and both firewire and 3 USB ports.
• IT’S GOT VALUE
  Unlike Mac Mini, it includes keyboard & mouse.  And for $199 more, you can get a very nice 19” widescreen flat panel monitor.
• IT’S PERSONAL
  It has with a bunch of customizations like a red frame and Blu-Ray drive.
• IT’S GREEN
  Systems power consumption is only 65 watts.

It’s got a lot of options to upgrade the memory or the hard drive or whatever you want.  I’m partial to this bamboo model:
