Product Description

asus Eee Box EBXB202-BLK-X0081 Mini Desktop PC Enjoy easy living with the eclectic, efficient and eco-friendly Eee Box. The Eee Box is a mini desktop PC with huge possibilities. Plus, it’s so easy to use. The simple intuitive interface lets inexperienced users get started right away. This model comes with a 160GB hard drive and Microsoft® Windows® XP home operating system. Since the Eee Box only requires around 20 watts of power, your carbon footprint is reduced by 90% compared to a standard PC. The asus Eee Box offers you a mini desktop PC that measures only 8.5” x 1”. With a slim and elegant design, the world’s smallest desktop PC allows an array of space saving options.

This product claims it is the worlds smallest computer. That is blatently not true. Right now I am reviewing micro pc's for a project that I am doing and have found at least 8 systems that are smaller that the given external dimensions of this one. One of those systems is sold right here on Amazon. Please let us have truth in advertising.


I use the EeeBox with an LCD TV/Monitor for my home office. The size is perfect and as an XP (and anti-Vista) fan, it is a comfortable device to work with. While not advertised, the 160G hard drive is really two 80G drives (C and D), with the latter designated as a data drive. Memory is more than adequate for internet access and basic office requirements such as word processing, spread sheets and the like. This is not a gamer device nor is it intended to be. Installation was simple and my older wireless keyboard and mouse (Logitech) worked like a charm. I also have a separate HP DVD/CD drive that works flawlessly through the USB port (4 included). For the price, size, and features, this is a winner.


I purchased this Asus Eee PC as an experiment, replacing my bulky Media Center PC (aka Home Theater PC or HTPC), and I have been extremely satisfied so far. The unit is small (1/10th the footprint of my HTPC), quiet, very responsive, and makes an attractive (if only diminutive) addition to my entertainment center.

I use the unit for web browsing with a wireless keyboard and mouse/remote (with accelerometer), watching online video, Amazon UnBox videos, music playback (multiple formats), video playback (multiple formats), and playing DVDs. So far I have no complaints, from me (the household geek) or my family (internet junkies one-and-all).

Pros: Affordable, small, quick boot, attractive design, high quality graphics, low power consumption, very quiet (nearly silent), and it can be mounted to the back of a display (using the VESA mount).

Cons: None noted

Summary: This very well design unit is not suited for all applications, but when you need a small PC, with diminished demands, this is an excellent solution at a very affordable price. I added a USB DVD/CD RW to my tools, using only when needed, and it works flawlessly.


I purchased this product a couple of months ago to use as a wall mounted rss information display driving an old flat panel. It has been rock solid without any problem for the wireless connection or need to reboot.

It is virtually soundless and incredibly small. The only detraction is the price point is a bit high. If the price comes down, I could use more of these for standalone specialized applications.
