[...] this product would be very affordable, since they’re naming it after Eee. And shall it have these specs plus wifi and much lesser price, it would not be very far from getting another Hardware of the Year [...]

@mark
the eee box is different from the eee netbook hence the price.

@sundownproject
is that at SM north? i’m interested in it as a download machine na pwedeng pangmagdamagan. at 20w (tama ba?) mas matipid kumpara sa 500w kong pc tower.

@yuga
i think they’re selling the eee box only when i asked about their display unit, which didn’t have a monitor. but i may also be wrong.

@sundownproject
that would probably be one of the previous models of the eee. did you check? if it is at least a 901, tell me the name of the shop. lol.

If Asus had corporate support for the Box, including on-site service/replacement and a long warranty, then corp’s would buy it. Especially call centers.

@luthien, the 25k price tag includes the monitor. I’m not sure if they allow selling the box separately.

nagkamali ba ako ng rinig when i asked a store in megamall kung magkano ang asus eee box na nakadisplay nila sabi P16,500? o baka naman hindi talaga 24,900 yun?

i actually did one myself, i was able to buy a SFF case in g’hills. size of the case is just 2x that of asus eee box. total cost of my atom desktop is around 11k. but it is spec’d up. 1.8k for the casing, 3k for a 160gb laptop hdd, 2k for slim internal dvdrw and 2k for a 2gb ram.

what would be good is if they would add it in their mix-and-match selector. i am in the look-out for a cheap, small, low-power unit to serve as download and storage box. i even mailed blue but didn’t receive any reply.

ciao!

Here in the US complete with mobo, this sells for about $70. Adding the rest like case, Hdd, RAM, etc. will bring the total cost to about $200, translating to under 10K pesos under current exchange rates.

Quite affordable, given that a good TV set probably cost just as much.
