802.11b/g/draft-n Wi-Fi 4-6 USB 2.0 ports SD Flash Memory card reader DVI output, S/PDIF output, HDMI output Asus EeeBox PC (formerly Asus Eee Box) is a nettop computer line from ASUSTeK Computer Incorporated, and a part of the Asus Eee product family. First released on August 11, 2008, the Asus EeeBox PC series is marketed as a small, light, inexpensive and energy-efficient counterpart to the Asus Eee PC netbook / subnotebook laptop series. Its motherboard employs Splashtop technology called Express Gate by Asus.
Features
"Instant-On"
The EeeBox PC motherboard features a form of embedded Linux, referred to in the user manual as Express Gate, a result of the ASUS SplashTop software. In the EeeBox PC implementation, the user is presented with a customised Linux desktop a few seconds after powering up the EeeBox PC, with the option of launching a web browser, an online chat application, a file manager, a photo browser or a Skype application, without having to load the main operating system. If the user does not select any of these options, the main operating system (typically Windows XP Home) loads automatically.
Low power consumption
The EeeBox PC uses an external power supply; however, due to its low power requirements, the unit is physically smaller than most external laptop power supplies. As of December 2008, the supplied UK power adapter was a small rectangular in-line block measuring approximately 30 mm × 35 mm in width and around 90 mm in length, excluding the cable stress relief grommets.
"Zero footprint" option
As of December 2008, the EeeBox PC comes with two mounting options, a desktop stand, and a monitor mounting. The monitor mounting option consists of a heavy plate with mounting holes designed to fit to the VESA 100 or VESA 75 mount area found on the back of many flat-screen monitors (Flat Display Mounting Interface). When mounted on the back of a monitor, the EeeBox PC does not require any desk space. With the addition of a compatible USB "TV tuner" dongle the EeeBox PC can be used as a digital television adapter, and add both TV reception and recording facilities to a flat computer monitor.
Robustness
The EeeBox PC hard drive has a hidden recovery partition containing an image of the factory OS installation. This allows the EeeBox PC's operating system to be reset to its initial factory state without the need for any external media or optical disc hardware (although conventional recovery discs are also included).The permanently embedded Linux system ensures a functioning graphical user interface and basic functionality—such as web browsing—even in the absence of a separate operating system. In contrast, most computer systems in this situation offer only a limited set of menu-driven BIOS commands.
