Lenovo's [IdeaCentre Q180](http://www.engadget.com/2011/11/23/lenovos-diminutive-q180-htpc-dishes-out-multimedia-for-349/) is touted by Lenovo as the world's smallest desktop PC. Coupled with a Blu-ray drive -- literally, using magnets to hold the Q180 to the drive and a USB adapter -- and an [N5902 keypad](http://www.engadget.com/2011/10/06/lenovo-n5902-ditches-the-fingerprint-magnet-finish-adds-backlit/) the tiny IdeaCentre would make an amazing and unobtrusive HTPC. Powered by a 2.13GHz Intel Atom dual-core CPU the Q180 connects to your peripherals via HDMI, USB 3.0, or VGA. Full HD, check. 7.1 channel sound, check. Honestly, starting at $299, this 22 mm-thick box seems like an easy choice for somebody looking to get involved in this type of media storage and playback. Video and pics are just a click away. **Gallery: [Lenovo's IdeaCentre Q180 HTPC hands-on](http://www.engadget.com/photos/lenovos-ideacentre-q180-htpc-hands-on/)**
