Nvidia and Acer have introduced the world's first Nvidia Ion-based PC, the Acer AspireRevo.

The AspireRevo measures a svelte and tiny 7.1-inch x 7.1-inch x 1.2-inches high. Bookshelf HTPC? It certainly does smack of that and if you tether a USB Blu-ray drive to it, you've got all the comforts of home in very little space.
