Asus EeeBox Nettop With Discrete Graphics to be Released in June

According to some reports Asus’ latest nettop, the EeeBox B208, should be arriving sometime in June for buyers over in the UK.
The EeeBox B208 will come with a dual-core Intel Atom 330 processor, ATI Radeon HD 4530 graphics, and HDMI-out (to help provide a full HD experience). As for connections, it’ll be able to hop on your WiFi using 802.11n, or gigabit Ethernet. And, impressively all this will be whisper quiet, making only 26dB of noise.
It’ll presumably all cost around $500. Not bad, considering how well this could handle the role of a media center.

Yeah, it almost sounds like a good media center PC candidate, I thought the same thing at first.
But after some reaearch, I found that I could buy a much better media cneter PC, similar to the one in your mag, for $550 (minus OS). I doubt it would be as quiet, but it would be a better overall machine.
I love the idea of netbooks, though they should cost the same and do just slightly more than they do now. I'm not similarly sold on nettops though. I'd rather buy yesterday's parts and a microITX board for the same price or less as a second machine.
