Is it a Mac Mini? Is it a Wii? No! It's an Eee!

You may have heard that Windows is now on its way to ASUS' Eee PC notebook, but what you really want to see is ASUS' Eee desktop PC, right?

Well, if these images found by HotHardware are to be believed, then here it is:

Is this ASUS' forthcoming EP20?

Now we know what you're thinking, and honestly, we're thinking the same; sexy!

We're just loving that fancy little pattern on the white model, maybe ASUS felt the need to add something extra to prevent customers confusing the EP20 with Nintendo's Wii? They do look just a touch similar.

Despite liking the design however, we've got to be just a tad dubious. Earlier this month, this is what ASUS' EP20 looked like at CeBIT:

ASUS EP20 as it was?

So, which is the real thing? Well, the CeBIT EP20 isn't all that different. Flip it on its side and paint it differently and it'll soon look like the leaked images above.

ASUS plans to launch the EP20 in the next few months so we'll soon get to know just how good it'll actually look. Still, we're sure it won't be as sexy as ASUS' Bamboo concept series.

it looks surprisingly similar to hp's blackbird pc

I had the same thought.
Hey Hexus team, it might be useful to do a back to back comparison, you know, Crysis benchmarks, specviewperf, webserver duties etc etc.Quote

Has anybody seen similar chassis' to HP's Blackbird and Dell's XPS 520/630/720 for sale anywhere?

The Asus looks great, is it M-ITX or something?Quote

Sure but low power CPU (so forget HDTV playback), no PCI slots (so only USB DVB-T tuners) and 2.5 inch HDD... so really the answer is "probably no" :eek:Quote
