If you're dead-set on a Nettop, the Lenovo C300 is a less terrible decision, but you can stretch your dollar much further with a budget slim tower system like the Gateway SX2800-01.TAGS:Averatec, Lenovo, graphics chip, value, movie, speakers, Microsoft Windows XP Home Edition, LCD, Intel, Microsoft Windows Vista, Microsoft Windows, video
Reviewed on February 12, 2007Velocity Micro's first full-fledged home theater PC pulls very few punches in providing a complete digital media experience.
