For about 3 weeks ago I bought myself some new computer stuff – and oh my god it is nice.

The new stuff I bought is:

• Asus EEE Box, model B202 (black edition)
• Sony DVD+-R/RW/DL/ SLIM DRX-S70U +8X8X4X -8X6X4X
• Belkin SOHO DVI 2-PORT USB KVM Switch

I have heard alot about the new Asus EEE Box, so I wanted to try it. I can use it to host my webapplications for test-purpose, so it was not a waste of money.

The Asus EEE Box B202 comes with a Intel Atom 1.6 Ghz CPU, 1GB DDR ram, 160 GB (5400 rpm) harddrive, wireless lan and gigabit lan. The computer is not made for gaming, but is very good for use of Microsoft Office, browsing etc.

The sound level of this computer is VERY low. It stands on my table and I can’t hear it. Besides that it’s not big. The dimensions are 223 x 178 x 26 without the stand. The best of it however is that the Asus EEE Box only uses about 20 watts of power.

I am very pleased with the Asus EEE Box.When I bought it I also bought an external DVD-drive and -burner. The Asus EEE Box does not have a drive installed, so you have to buy one. I bought a black slimline DVD-drive from Sony. It is also very nice.

The last thing I bought is the Belkin SOHO DVI 2-PORT USB KVM Switch. Since I only have one monitor, keyboard, mouse and sound-set, I wanted them to be able to talk to both computers (my new Asus EEE Box and my regular self-made computer). The Belkin SOHO KVM Switch is a very nice switch for this. It handles DVI, sound, USB (for mouse and keyboard) etc. It works perfectly and I’m very pleased with all of my new purchases.
