Asus Eee Box for only $269!

It will run on a 1.6 GHz Atom processor in Windows XP and Linux flavors, both of which are less green than a loaded iPod: $269 for the base 1GB RAM, 80GB storage Linux model and $299 for the XP version.

Memory ranges from 512MB to 2GB and storage from 80GB to 250GB, and 802.11n is standard.

As far as I can see, there’s no optical drive nor HDMI, but it does have a reasonable number of ports — perhaps useful as part of a TV-centric setup? Nevertheless, for the price, it’s small form factor bliss.
