We tested the cheapest £150 version of the Acer Aspire Revo with 1GB of RAM

Abstract: A rather different PC in that all you get is a small box not a lot bigger than a video cassette and a wireless keyboard and mouse. This can even be mounted on the back of a panel or a TV so maybe ideal for the occasional user....
