Plug in a USB keyboard and a wireless mouse and you're good to go.

The Dell Zino HD (aka Inspiron 400) has so far been just what people were hoping for: a general purpose PC, small footprint, quiet, and with enough computing power to handle everyday tasks. Of course, how you configure it is up to you. If you want a general purpose, quiet PC that you can place in the corner of a desk or on a shelf then considers the Zino HD.
