Acer is hoping to make its way into consumers’ holiday buying plans with its new Aspire X3200, a multimedia oriented system that packs a 2.1GHz AMD Phenom triple core processor, 4 GB of RAM, and a Blu-ray drive into a compact desktop priced relatively low at $679.99. Just don't expect to run any demanding games, since graphics come courtesy of an integrated Nvidia GeForce 8200 graphics chip.

I bought one of these from Fry a month ago for $600. Great looking small package. Perfect BluRay playback.
Great Hulu, Fancast, etc on computer

The HDMI output to my 52" Sony Bravia gave a perfect fit with no under/over scan without any adjustment. Never hooked up any VGA monitor, just the TV.

Very pleased!!!!!
