Hi all,
I just got a newsletter from NCIX advertising the new ASUS Eee Box;  
what I presume to be one of the first Intel Atom-based desktops.

http://www.ncix.com/products/index.php?sku=32440&vpn=EBXB202%2DBK%2DX0023&manufacture=ASUS

For $370, this seems like a great piece of hardware:

Intel Atom N270 Processor
Gigabit Ethernet
80 GB hard drive
1GB RAM
DVI-Out

It comes with WinXP Home Edition -- blech! I wish I could get it $30  
cheaper sans OS -- on principle, I guess.

But the big question is: could this make a good HD-playing Myth  
Frontend???

Cheers!
Aaron.
