What's scary is that I probably still have the C64 somewhere at my parents. My dad never throws anything away. I loved that PC as a kid.

An atom with 4GB DDR3 memory? This is effectively a beefy HTPC, which could do some light gaming. However, if HTPC is the only consideration, I would look at the Acer Aspire Revo - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16883103266&nm_mc=OTC-Froogle&cm_mmc=OTC-Froogle-_-Desktop+PC-_-Acer+America-_-83103266\r \r Damn them for not providing a price. This could be a fun little box, but I don't think I'd pay more than $500 for it with Blu-Ray. I would assume this comes with Windows 7 Home Premium, but Pro would be nice. I suppose they could also offer a Linux configuration.\r \r Just remembered, I want to sli up a second gtx285, so I'd probably skip this in favor of more video card goodness.

Only thing cooler would be if it had a flip up screen of some sort...strutting into class amidst all the snickers with this baby would be good times.
