Possible: HTPC (small form factor) AND gaming?

[mtstover]

Are there any off the shelf rigs which can deliver on both a small form factor (or at least horizontal installation) for an HTPC setup, and do decently at games?

Something you can buy off the shelf and play games dunno, did a quick google but didnt find anything.
Went to ebuyer and did a quick spec, for under £600 you could build a good HTPC with BluRay, 1TB Storage, digital receiver and an ATI 4850.
Obviously you would want to research each part a little more thoroughly first but it should give you an idea on what you can get for that kinda $$
