...but they appear to only have one image of the system (the full-on front view). What's the point of revamping the style/look of the entire lineup if they're not going to give you the full view (I'm kind of curious to see how the iPod dock is worked into the top, but can't see it!)

Here's the manual for the Media Center computer:

I THINK that's an older model. It doesn't have a built-in iPod dock, BUT it does show you how to build your own dock into the case on page 61.

If you take a look at that, I imagine that's a lot what the new one looks like, only it comes built in instead of you doing it yourself.

That HP was unhappy with the deal to re-sell HP branded iPods. If they're integrating a dock into their actual cases now, they plan on selling iPods for a long time. I wonder if there's an insert or what they used to adapt it from a iPod to a mini, since they form factor of each model is slightly different even though the connector is the same.

Thats awesome, but where's the computer?
Oh there it is, the Giant silver box!
I'm sorry it just doesn't do it for me.

I am a die hard PC user, but every time I see crap like this I just want to hang my head in shame. First of all, the thing looks cheap in the pictures, like something from one of those unknown Chinese pc companies. This thing just reeks of painted plastic. I have no problem with high quality plastics mind you but it really looks tacky and cheap when the stuff is painted. Why can't these guys hire someone to come up with a decent design and improve build quality like OQO and Motion Computing have managed to do? Secondly didn't someone manage to tell HP that "silver" colored items are on there way out? I have about had it with the "metal look" that every thing is taking on these days. Everything from toaster to cell phones to computer mice. Enough already sheesh.
