Asus Ebox ready for launch

THE RUMOUR MILL has cranked up to Defcon 1 with the news of the desktop version of Eeeeeeeeee PC being launched at Computex.

It’s now been officially confirmed to us that arriving like a new-born to the ASUSTeK family by courier stork, will be the EBOX on 3rd June.

The only details that have been delivered to use at present are that it contains a 160GB Hard Drive, 2GB ram, will run Linux OS as found on the EeePC.

Although no CPU details were forthcoming, the likely suspect is still the Intel Atom – but who are we to speculate?
