Has Dell put much thought into either a console size Windows Media Center box or a Server sytle Media Hub?  I used to use my old XPS420 as a Media Hub with quad TV tuners and 4 TBs of HDD space.  I upgraded last year and decided to build my own as I couldn't find anything Dell offered for this market.  We have used Windows Media Center since XP Media Center Edition days and it truly will be the future of home entertainment if it is packaged correctly.  Many of Dell's systems can be used in this way, but neither of these form factors seem to be marketed in this way.  Take a page from Apple and build something people want, or even better, something people don't know they want.  Remember, there was no market for the iPad before it came out.  Apple saw a market there and packaged it very well.  Dell needs to branch out from the traditional desktop/laptop market and embrace multimedia even more.  What say you?
