Yeah, that's pretty much exactly what I'm talking about. Nice touch with the cutout for sliding under a display.
This idea is so logical to all of us, there's no question that Apple has designed and priced out something similar. There must be some business reason they've not brought it to market. The only thing I can think of is that issue about cannibalizing sales from other models. And, although they could've done it with a single vs dual-core G5, with a multi-tiered line of Intel processors to choose from cannibalization should be less of an issue.
For a true media PC, I think a dual-core processor is important. Front Row drags almost to unusability on my iMac G5 if there's a video transcoding task (H.264) going on in the background.
