Hardware, Embedded Systems The Eee Box is the latest addition to the Eee family, and this article takes a closer look at setting up and using the Eee Box. "Unless you've had your head in the sand for the past several months, you've probably heard of Asus' line of Eee PC laptops - low-cost, ultra-portable laptops with solid-state hard disk drives. Over the past several months, the Eee PC has evolved. Newer laptop models come with Linux as well as Windows XP Home, standard hard disk drives, and even the new Intel Atom processor. Now, we have a desktop version of the Eee PC - the Eee Box. Here, I will detail the unpacking and initial setup of an Eee Box unit using text and images."

Well, this eee pc is nice. But if you go to a second hand computer store you can buy a faster computer for less money. So I really don't see the point in buying this computer if you are low on cash.

Yes, you must need the smaller form factor or power footprint. But those are pretty compelling.

Both factors make it a candidate for a living room PC for me. Quiet running is another benefit.
