We’ve only one thing to say here: it’s about time! Dell’s Studio Hybrid has been shuffling around for well over a month, and we’re just now seeing someone with the nerve to take a putty knife to this cute ‘lil desktop and photograph its innards for all to see. As expected, there ain’t much breathing room in the 7.7- x 2.8- x 8.3-inch box, but there’s a smattering of pictures and a full disassembly video waiting in the read link below. Go on and look, sicko.

Now that all the mystery over the Dell Studio Hybrid is a lot less, err, mysterious, it’s time for the machine to get unboxed, set up, and revealed for all. We already know that that the Studio Hybrid isn’t a massive performer, but given its $499 price that includes a keyboard and mouse, we’re not about to complain. The reviewed unit was packed with a Intel Core Duo T2390 CPU, 3GB DDR2 RAM, 250 GB 5400 RPM HDD, 8x slot-loading DVD burner, and Intel X3100 GPU. Peep the red shiny goodness (or badness, depending on your needs) after the break in full video splendor.

Like most product from Dell these days, there’s little surprise left in Dell’s Studio Hybrid desktop lineup of eco-friendly little PCs. First unveiled as a bamboo-clad concept in April, the computer is finally being released by the hardware giant with a starting price of $499, with interchangeable sleeves of Bamboo, Emerald, Quartz, Ruby, Sapphire, Slate and Topaz — the latter six being of the shiny plastic ilk. Dell isn’t slouching on specs though, and seems to realize the potential of the Studio Hybrid — which can be stood vertically or horizontally — in the living room. There’s an HDMI port standard, along with options for WiFi, a wireless keyboard and mouse, Blu-ray and a TV tuner. Dell doesn’t ignore the “green” roots of this project, either, and is including a system recycling kit, along with the natural reduction in packing and manufacturing materials. The Studio Hybrid should be available today.

If you’ve been paying attention, you remember all those blurry-vision pictures of an upcoming Dell mini desktop called the Studio Hybrid. As it turns out, those spy images were more than speculation, as an anonymous reader tipped us off to one of Dell’s internal customer service session pages that guides the rep through some wireless keyboard and mouse resynchronization steps. The Dell Studio Hybrid appears to be codenamed “Nausicaa” (if image filenames are to be believed) and will ship with a wireless mouse and keyboard. It seems Dell believes that customers will need some help setting up these potentially finicky peripherals. As for when this new mini-desktop will be available, we’re still in the dark on that, but a back-to-school number this like wouldn’t be such a bad idea. We’re not sure how long the page will remain up once our readers have poked at it, but we captured the images in a handy gallery for that inevitable moment.
UPDATE: Looks like the Studio Hybrid will also be available with a Blu-Ray drive and user-changeable color panels to match your design scheme. It will also launch within the next two weeks, if our other anonymous tipster is to be believed.

Remember that tidy little bamboo-encased mini PC Dell showed off in April? Well apparently the company is at work on a variant of the diminutive system, dubbed the Studio Hybrid. In addition to forgoing the eco-friendly wood for what appears to be a sleek, orange Plexiglas shell, the system boasts an Intel chipset, 4GB of RAM, a 320GB hard drive, WiFi, a DVD+R drive, five USB ports, an HDMI port, S/PDIF, DVI, and a memory card reader. We’re not sure exactly when Dell plans to unleash these on consumers or what the final cost will be, though previously the company had stated plans to offer it later this year for between $500 and $700. Check the gallery below for a few more (blurry) shots of the device.
