Hi Guys,
MSY has dropped the price of the Asus EEE Box B202 to $325.
Officeworks also carries the same PC, so hop into officeworks and get a new pc with XP home for $325 less 5% ($308, $314 if paying with credit).
If all you need is a cheap basic pc for surfing/email etc, this is perfect.
(I suggest upping the RAM in the thing to 2GB - $23 at MSY)

its $325 + you get a free 8gb USB stick.
Also good for a price match if they have stock!
Yeah, the linux versions are cheaper, plus a "few months back" the USD/AUD exchange rate was 97c. I guess you are assuming that you have a legal version of XP sitting around somewhere.
more like 9 months
pretty alrite deal
if that comment is directed at me? i bought the puter on the 5th of March
thats the wrong link provided. the product at msy is B202 but the officeworks link is n270.
Good pick up.
So if Office Works don't sell the B202, then you're stuck going to MSY for the $325 version.
the N270 is the Atom processor. Nothing to do with the model number. They're both exactly the same computers.
i bought the B202 for $300 @ onlinecomputers.com.au a few months back (linux, 1GB etc), however delivery was $12.
and use this to install windows xp with a usb stick - http://myeeeguides.wordpress.com/2008/11/15/winsetupfromusb-…
