Asus desktop Eee PC, Ebox

Asus will finally launch the desktop version of its elfin Eee PC next month. the unit is set to retail as the Ebox.

Eee will incorporate a 2GB of memory and a 160GB hard drive?, Asus is keeping the full spec confidential.

Asus in January 2008, said the $200-300 box would ship in the April-May timeframe.

The Ebox will certainly run the Eee PC's Xandros version of Linux, and come bundled with the same line-up of applications.

The look of the Ebox is at odds with the design of a slimline home desktop PC that Asus demo'd at the CeBit show in March this year. That model, the "Digital Home System EP20", was, however, said to run the Eee PC's Linux OS.

It also sported a slot-loading optical drive, something that's not visible on the photo.
