Amazon.com Product Description:
Moving from the laptop to the desktop, Asus has taken the miniaturization efforts its applied to its popular line of Eee PC laptops and created the Eee Box--a stylish, low-power desktop PC with a minimal footprint. Slim as a paperback novel, the Eee Box can help you reclaim space on your desk or it can mount on the back of a VESA-compatible HDTV for use as a PC media hub. And despite a choice of colors, including black and silver, the Eee Box is overwhelmingly green with its Intel Atom processor helping to reduce system power requirements to just 20W--which helps to reduce your electric bill as well as your carbon footprint. It's also barely audible, producing just 26 decibels of noise--just above the level of a quiet whisper.
It runs the familiar Windows XP Home operating system and it's powered by the 1.6 GHz Intel Atom processor, which uses a brand new design structure based on hafnium-infused circuitry to help reduce electrical current leakage and conserve energy. Other features include an 80 GB hard drive, 1 GB of installed RAM, Draft-N Wi-Fi networking (802.11b/g/n), four USB ports (including two on the front), DVI video output, and included round metal stand.
An accessible touch sensor button and vertical placement exudes a seamless and futuristic outlook, while smooth curves further accentuate a refined form that compliments most interior designs. The Eee Box even mounts VESA LCD displays for the ultimate space-saving solution (VESA 75/100 standard mount). With the exclusive Express Gate, ASUS' innovative fast boot technology, you can easily access the Internet, manage pictures, or communicate over IM/Skype just 7 seconds after boot up.
Compared to full-sized desktop solutions, the Eee Box's energy-efficient performance reduces power consumption by up to 90 percent. The Eee Box also utilizes Green Design and is made with only earth-friendly materials for reduced CO2 emissions, and it conforms to stringent RoHS and WEEE standards. Thus, you can be socially responsible while working, learning and playing in style. The innovative ASUS thermal solution also integrates a unique heat dissipation module with the AI fan, allowing quiet (26db) and comfortable computing.
The Intel Atom processor uses a brand new design structure that packs in 47 million transistors into a single chip sized at just 22mm (0.87 inches), and it uses just 2.5 watts of power--less than 1/10 of the 35 watts used by an Intel Core 2 Duo processor--for excellent battery management. This 1.6 GHz Atom processor also includes a power-optimized front side bus of 533 MHz for faster data transfer on demanding mobile applications and a 512 KB L2 cache (which temporarily stores data).
You get four USB 2.0 ports (two on the front of the PC), a DVI output for connecting to external monitors, headphone/line-out jack with digital audio output for surround sound, and a multi-format memory card slot (compatible with SD/MMC/Memory Stick media).
The Eee Box supports the latest Wi-Fi 802.11n wireless standard, providing up to six times faster connectivity than previous 802.11b/g wireless. You can download a 30 minute video in only 44 seconds (speed dependent on video source)--minimizing the wait and allowing time for twice as many movies. It's also backward compatible with 802.11b/g networks, commonly found in older home routers. You also get super-fast wired connectivity via the Gigabit Ethernet port (10/100/1000).
It comes preinstalled with the Microsoft Windows XP Home operating system, which offers more experienced users an enhanced and innovative experience that incorporates Windows Live features like Windows Live Messenger for instant messaging and Windows Live Mail for consolidated email accounts on your desktop. Complementing this is Microsoft Works, which equips the user with numerous office applications to work efficiently.

Rating: 
- EEE is AAAmazing
I give this little computer an AAA rating.Needless to say the space-saving is a plus; however, for its size, it performs perfectly.I mainly email, use the Internet, word process, and do a bit of stock trading. It is a great purchase for these applications and more, I'm sure.
Rating: - Great Server & Desktop!
I bought this because I have a Linux server that was way too noisy.I also didn't want something sucking up a ton of power all day long.
Intro the eeeBox.8 watts of cool, quiet power.It runs Ubuntu Hardy with some quirks, wireless not detected out of the box, but since its a server its not a big deal.Windows XP seemed to work ok, didn't really give it a huge go.
Id recommend this for a low - mid use home server OR as a desktop for Windows or Linux.

Rating: - Just what the doctor ordered
The EEE Box PC is ideal for our home office. It boots fast and connects to our networks naturally. No issues with setup. The only down side is the lack of an optical drive (easily corrected with a USB optical drive) and the lack of USB ports by the time you connect the keyboard, mouse and external optical drive.We mounted it on the back of the LCD monitor, one of the supported installations, and the result is a clean desk.

- There's nothing to it, and that's saying SOMETHING!
I bought this mini-PC to connect to my LCD flat panel TV in living room.The small form factor is perfect, and it mounted easily to the VESA mount on the back of the TV to hide it neatly out of the way. The system performs exactly as you would expect it to.I stream movies from Netflix to the EeePC, and they play flawlessly on the TV.Cute keyboard and mouse were an unexpected bonus.I added a PS3 wireless keyboard/mouse combo (which hides away under the sofa when I'm not using it).Great system ...
