We’ve been seeing quite a selection of remarkable small desktop systems recently, aimed mostly at the Home Theatre PC (HTPC) crowd. The requirements for these are compact dimensions, stylish looks, and the ability to play back Full HD video, with Blu-ray being high on our ‘want’ list. The impressive and passively-cooled Tranquil PC ixL was too expensive and lacked Blu-ray, while the Zotac ZBOX looked stylishly futuristic and was incredibly slim, but suffered from inferior build quality and a distractingly audible fan. Up to this point then, the ASRock Core 100HT-BD is still our top choice but now we have an entrant that might blow even this machine out of the water: Acer’s Aspire Revo RL100 3D.
