I believe 'All-in-one' PCs with 'touchscreen' support will be getting more popular amongst htpc users when Win7 is available later this year. Currently touchscreen PCs based on the Intel-Atom platform, e.g. the MSI Wind Top AE1900 series are already on the market, but a better choice would be the ones use the Ion-Atom-based platform such as the Asus Eee Top ET2002T which are capable of HD playback.
'All-in-one' PCs with 'touchscreen' support is the simplest way to set up a Media PC in the living room. What you need is just link your PC to your big screen TV, preferably via a HDMI, then you can watch your video collection in your living room. You can use the touchscreen as a multimedia control panel.
Besides the low cost solution offered by the Ion-Atom-based platform, DELL offers an alternative. The DELL Studio One 19 features a built-in 18.5" display with multi-touch screen functionality on a choice of 4 color fabric trim options or Solid Pure White trim border which can easily blend into your living room. It comes with an Intel desktop-based processor and upgradeable to Quad-Core, and, the package is bundled with wireless keyboard, mouse and WiFi to reduce cable clutter.
