Finally, you can get a home server with IBM pedigree.

Lenovo today confirmed that it's releasing an Atom-based home server, a $499 model with up to 8 terabytes of capacity:

The company also rolled out several new tiny PCs with home theater capabilities -- a sample of its Windows 7 wave lineup, out in time for back-to-school sales.

They include the "ultra slim and small" Q100 and Q110 desktops that are just 0.7 inches thick. Inside are Atom processors and Nvidia's Ion graphics system, which outputs 1080p video and supports Direct X 10 graphics. They'll go on sale next month for $249 to $349:

Slightly larger but still tiny for a PC is the Q700, a $499 entertainment-focused desktop with full desktop processors, HD video and 7.1 surround sound. Specs are a little iffy, though; Lenovo's site had suggested it was available with up to a quad core processor and a 1 terabyte drive but the press material says it will have Pentium chips:

Lenovo also announced a new IdeaPad laptop, the U350, with a 14-inch screen, DDR3 memory and HDMI output. It's 0.9 inches thick, weighs five pounds and starts at $799:
