    You want to go to ebay to look for a carring case for your new EEE 1000H and you type into your browser eeebay :(

    It just happened to me lol.

    On that note tho, this is what I was looking for: Leather Case

    The "branded" version cost like $65 but I am sure this rip off is just as good and I like the idea of a case thats not a case and protects from finger prints all at once.

    I want the 1000H so I can have a notebook for when I cant really carry around my large 15" & backpack.

    I've been looking at that or the pdair version for my 1000h as well. I just dont know how hot the 1000h will get with the bottom portion being covered by leather.

    I also bought my 1000H since carrying the G1S is a pain in the ***. I actually dont even use the G1S as my main computer anymore, it's connected to my home theater via the HDMI for media use. I also have it always on (with a laptop cooler) and use Tversity to stream media to my ps3 and 360 around the house. Plus I got remote desktop working on the G1S so I can always connect to it with the 1000H.

    The 1000H comes with a slipcase, and I just plan to put it in that slipcase and then into my backpack. I felt that would be adequate to protect it.

    Yeah, I think that's what I'm going to do as well. I'll use the stock sleeve and just toss it into the backpack that came with my G1S. That way I can carry a lot more crap.

    Yeah I will get a small messenger bag (people having a lot of luck with the portable dvd player bags) for when I want to carry some gear with it.

    I just wanted this one for when I am heading out to do something and I know all I want is max mobility/portability and all I need is the laptop (if I get a bag soon it will be filled with stuff and that kind of voids the point :p

    Plus I think the leather should be more comfortable on my hands and help with finger prints.

    cool, let us know how how it it works out with that leather case with regards to operating temps.

    btw, the finger print thing is very annoying... i always wipe down my 1000h whenever I put it down!

    Leather is not plush or anything, so it should not really change temps.

    Plus I already have a cooling mod planned for the unit.

    I have a few things I need to do, Im upgrading the ram/hdd

    doing a cooling mod, and then I start messing with overclocking, modified video drivers for boosted performance and then I begin putting my emulator & games on there and see how good it works with the wiimote.

    I think I might go for the N10 instead of the EEE 1000H. My Asus has been taken over by some members of my family, and my MSI really isn't something I want to carry daily.
