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."

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.

Got mine last week and it's mind boggling as to how quite that thing is. I took of Windows XP Home and installed Xubuntu 8.04 with compiz and it works great. Going to be getting another LCD soon and mounting it on the back so it would be an all-in-one unit thingy. ;)
