I've been using an eee box for three months as a desktop at home. Happy to recommend it. Using the default Xandros is a bit heavy weight for the power limitations, so I'm about to install Xubuntu which should make for a snappier experience if the live CD is anything to go by.
Yup, works a treat. But you do need 8.10 to recognise the video properly.
I especially like the way I can mount the unit on the back of the monitor. All very nice and tidy. 19" monitor at 1400 something works fine.All other peripherals work out of the box, so to speak.
Heh, I of course had a monitor that didn't have the mount holes. So I heated up some acrylic strips and bent them over the top of the monitor to hold the Eee Box in place.
It's no power machine, but handles all the day to day stuff quite happily.
I had to upgrade mine to 2GiB RAM, but other than that it is handling my RepRap work (much big Java apps) very well. Vik :v)
