I've been looking for a smaller sized desktop to make into my media center pc.  Dell had the perfect ones: Zino HD or Studio Hybrid.  At the time they were released, I wasn't in the market for a new PC, however I like the size and style of them and planned toget the updated versions when it was time.  Fast forward to now. 

They don't exist.  Not the style, not the type, nothing.

So this is my modern day plee.  Please bring them back...I would happily buy one and I know others will too.

    Thank you for asking.  StigTrix offered several great suggestions.  one minor point of difference - i actully like the simple case design, especially if keeping the same design will speed up geting the zino back on the market.

    I do not know what he wants, but upgrades worth considering:
    - better cooling solution - maybe like the one in Alienware X51
    - matte plastic, maybe strategically placed like on the Alienware X51
    - SSD as an option
    - Blu-ray as standard
    - intel Ivy Bridge
    - USB 3.0
    - thermal compund as standard - such a compact system should strive to maintain low temperatures in order to be safe and durable

    If Dell were to bring back the Zino or Studio Hybrid is there anything you would want to suggest to improve the system?

    Yes, I agree that these models come with a nice and compact design while looking good, especially the Zino HD. The only DELL PC I know of that exists today and comes in a very small form factor is the Alienware X51. It might not be your style, but it would fit your need:


    As far as I know, this model has better cooling too, due to the new cooling solution from Alienware.
