These look poised to compete with the Mac Mini price-wise and size-wise. They're rather stylish in an old-fashioned sort of way. The wood paneled one looks like it belongs in a paneled basement romp room or a would-be playboy's den.
Though I've got no problem with PCs (I use both Macs and PCs), I can't say I'd buy one of these as I've had bad experiences with Dell and hardware reliability.
