Good thing Asus went ahead with the better stand. Besides, it's a decent fucking stand.]]>Aug 8th 2008 1:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/
Yeah, I agree. It's just a little metal hoop.

i've read this over and over, and i've decided it doesn't make sense. all that's keeping you from buying one... is.... ?]]>Aug 8th 2008 12:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/ 7 second start-up time.

Argh after reading it a couple more times now i'm confused.]]>Aug 8th 2008 12:39PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/
These two things (startup time and actually going out and buying one) are keeping them from the aforementioned three things.

I think?]]>Aug 8th 2008 2:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/
Which in theory you could just buy it, wipe it and install linux yourself, but I think somewhere in that 350 you're paying for xp anyways.]]>Aug 8th 2008 1:33PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/
all that's keeping them from web browsing, Skype and IM is a seven second boot time as well as the fact that one would need to be purchased first.

It was worded very strangely though...]]>Aug 8th 2008 1:58PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/Aug 8th 2008 12:42PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/Aug 8th 2008 12:55PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/$250 would look a lot better then $350, I'd like $199 myself, and for $99 I would run to the store.]]>Aug 8th 2008 1:34PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/Aug 8th 2008 1:01PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/http://www.engadget.com/2008/08/08/asus-eee-box-available-stateside-yours-for-350/
first off its bloody tiny, about the size of a paperback and only 1" thick, 2nd for that 350 you're getting draft N, GigE, DVI, a sata 80 gig hd, an xp license (throwaway) and a 945 express chipset (gma 950, intel ich7 - tried and true) - plus ALC888 audio - it'll definatly run OSX nicely. (and windows, and linux and vista - etc. your choice)

Now.. I found a video for the EEE Box - it is definately wierd.
