A few days back I mentioned that the Dell Zino HD desktop computer had debuted in the UK. Dell has now announced that the device is available in America as well. The machine has pretty much the same features as the UK version of the Zino HD.

The desktop computer is tiny at 7.75-inches square and 3.5 inches tall. The size means you can put the computer on top of your desk and it will certainly find its way into many entertainment centers to be used as an HTPC. The basic Zino HD with HD capable graphics will start at $229.

Many options can be added that will drive that price up including a Blu-ray player, up to 8GB of RAM, up to 1TB of storage, a wireless keyboard and mouse, and a discrete GPU with 512MB of RAM. Basic machines use a DVD player and ATI integrated graphics.
