Dell's small-form-factor (SFF) PC, newly revamped and renamed the XPS 210 ($1,844, as configured) might be better off picking a side. On the one hand, you have the likes of Apple and WinBook, whose closed boxes are tiny, feature-packed, generally sub-$1,000 powerhouses whose strengths are basic computing and serving up digital media for those not overly concerned with performance or video quality. In the other camp, you have the larger SFF cases from Falcon Northwest, Shuttle, and others, which although pricier and clunkier, can accommodate full-size desktop components and multiple hard drives, giving them the potential to become smaller powerhouses.
