Is this the first PC with HDMI built in? I've been on the lookout for a home PC that can record shows and has HDMI output, and the Sony VAIO VGX-TP1 seems to have the capacity to do both, as well as a 300GB drive, a 1.83GHz Core 2 Duo Processor and 2GB of 667MHz DDR RAM. It's pill-shaped, AND the HDMI cable is included. Full specs after the jump.
