On the market right now are a large number of ION + ATOM prebuilt HTPCs, which look nice and are powerful enough for HTPC and light browsing but feel underpowered to many enthusiasts.  That is why products like the HDPLEX H10 are so nice, they let you choose your components and look good at the same time.  The rackmount style works well in this case as it would not look out of place in a home theatre cabinet and the fanless design means you don’t have to worry about it being in a stack of components.  See what SilentPCReview liked about the design and what they’d like to see changed.
