    It's kinda hard to understand since its a rough translation, but hey, take it for what it is.

    The Eee seriously looks awesome for what it has.

    If I'm reading that right, than the XG Station looks to be nothing more than a USB connected GPU...ummm, yeah that's gonna work well.

    ExpressCard = PCI Express x1. We have been up and down this discussion in the > 200 post XG Station thread.

    The USB portion of the discussion involves how the OC Gear 5.25" drive bay device communicates with the video card it is controlling - in a desktop.

    As early as August. If it really does hit the $200 mark, hook me up! Will this be sold through standard resellers like PROPortable and MilestonePC, or is there going to be some catch where they don't sell it in the US?

    Yay, finally some news on the XG station!
    I'm all in for these Asus products if all goes well and they show up. It'd be really nice if Asus could keep the Eee to $199, but it doesn't matter anyways because I'd probably spend more to get the higher model.

    Array of freaking turbines on the back... :rolleyes: You should have seen the render me and Vicious came up with for the 13" C30 in his C90s thread...

    I actually didn't know the eee came with a webcam. Thats really cool. I'm still having trouble believing that it will come in at $200....
