after all these years.......not bad. Good try.
but I'd prefer all the connectors to be at d back, it will look tidier that way. just leave the dvd and sd slot in front.

velcro cannot tahan la...lol...
actually can be mounted on lcd tv also, the versa mounting point is all the same, plus revo comes together with the mounts too
planned to get one of these nettops for sometime now, to replace my huge monster PC beside my lcd tv...lol
the revo has been my choice so far due to its mounting capability plus it comes with webcam and wireless keyboard + mouse, but this new eeebox seems nice too

use 3m double sidded tape will do lor...IIRC, the first eeebox c/w VESA adaptor to mount behind monitor. i guess it will cost rm1599.there is another similar spec model by asrock, seen it in HK around rm1200.

not exactly.... not easy to configure using 3rd party app to have a full HTPC. easyway out would be windows media center but when u r dealing with tons of decoder, it is reallt pain in the a** to configure which decoder to be used with designated files/codecs....

i initially thought of using media player way, but in the end after connecting my pc to the lcd tv, found out that a pc is still the best way as it can play virtually any media, just need to download the decoder and player... not to mention any PC game that is not available on console (eg. The Sims 3 lol)

ur HTPC looks more like a super high end home theater system

what kind of soundcard do u use? it can be audiophile la if u installed the audiophile grade soundcard i.e. Audiotrak Prodigy HD2.. just pair it with Acoustic Energy Aego M speaker system, the sound can easily beat those rm3k system..
