EeeBox PC EB1012 - Pocket format High Definition entertainment

Have you been looking for a media centre that does not take up too much space, but still want a computer that can provide the full array of entertainment including Full HD (1080p)? Do you require a computer that does not use too much power? If yes,...

Too many advertisements and special offers

Considering its low power consumption, the EeeBox PC EB1012 delivers a very high performance. The computer practically begs to be used as a media centre, a function it easily lives up to. It is completely silent, making it even more attractive in that...

Arrived DOA

None, arrived unable to boot

Does not state no drive and no memory

Ran just fine when I scaveneged parts from another Asus Nettop box.

Works great

The Computer runs smoothly, Pretty fast, Windows 7, low price

The computer wouldn't turn on properly until I had to open it up and found that one of the ports that connected the power supply to the motherboard wasn't working properly. I simply plugged the power supply into another port and problem solved

Good, small, low cost

Very small form factor, good functional basic computer for light duty

The ASUS bloatware included cost me several hours of diagnosing a conflict with some Windows software (Microchip PicKit3) that just didn't work on this computer (but worked on many others) until I uninstalled the ASUS software. Do yourself a favor and...

Used as media player

I installed openELEC on this machine, using some memory I already had and a 4GB flash drive as the only storage ; Plays movies and streaming media quite well over wired Ethernet

getting the case open to install memory requires some care and patience
