have you considered the integrated flat panel PCs?

I guess that would be the Apple iMac, the Dell SX260 (with matching funky monitor stand), or the Gateway Profile4. My main gripe with the Gateway and Apple is the smaller monitors. The main problem with the Dell SX260 is that they only offer a 5400rpm 40GB disk. The Dell GX260 small form factor version is slightly larger, offering an 7200rpm 80GB disk, yet it still can potentially stand behind the monitor, saving space.

I want to have enough space in there for a full Linux installation, and a full WinXP/OfficeXP installation via VMware. 40GB on the smaller boxes is pushing it, but I think 80GB gives us some headroom.
