And do you know that the case I am talking about is super cool and clear? Take a look at this.

Do you ever notice it’s covered with a crystal case? Now, do you want to own it?

Okay, same mechanic. One (1) comment = one (1) entry. Only one entry is allowed. If you want another entry, you must subscribe to feeds via email. Clear?

And I want to make some clarifications. Subscribing via feed readers won’t allow us to see who you are, and we can’t count them as entries for our contests. Please use the email subscription box on the side.

And as for the prize, our reservation is not yet confirmed. So in the case we won’t be able to avail one, I will replace it with a better item that will surely make the winner smile like this .

1. You need to have USB_PREP8, PeToUSB, Bootsect.exe
2. Format your USB Drive.
3. Load boot sector.
4. Load Windows XP install CD to USB.
5. Install Windows XP to Eee PC.

Now to make it easier, here’s the detailed steps. Read more »

Acer Aspire One is no doubt larger than than Eee PC 901 and it seems like Asus is quite not comfortable with that. DigiTimes is telling that Asus is planning to make bigger models of Eee PC 900 and 901 as Eee PC 904 and 905. These two versions are actually not new versions since Asus will implement same specs as the smaller version, except that they will sport a larger keyboard and will use the 8.9 inch panel. Upgrading battery and storage capacity is not confirmed.

Same price is planned for the new models and will eventually replace the Eee PC 900 and 901 series. Or keep the series at lower prices to better compete with Acer Aspire One.
