I've been looking for the same thing, and the best i've been able to find out is the Zotac boxes (check out some place like Newegg or TigerDirect). Most of them use the Intel Atom processor, but compensate for video graphics by using the Nvidia ION GPU which helps significantly (think 1080P graphics via HDMI). The only issue with these boxes is that they don't come with an OS installed, but that might not be an issue at all, depending on what you're planning to run. If you're looking for something a bit more meaty (Intel Core i7 or something), then you may be stuck building your own box or having a relatively large minitower (when compared with the Zotec) from HP, Dell, etc.
If you're just looking for Internet TV, i've heard the Boxee Box (by Dlink) is pretty cool, but I know they've had a few glitches since it's release in Q4 2010. Insofar as a bulletproof solution for Internet TV (albeit with limited functionality), Roku makes a pretty cool box.
That's my $0.02. Hope that helps!
