More information is emerging about the upcoming Asus Eee Box EB1006 nettop. Eee PC Italia found a hands-on video of this upcoming low power desktop at Computex, and reports that the machine features a 1.6GHz Intel Atom N270 CPU, ATI Radeon HD4530 graphics with support for DirectX 10, a 160GB hard drive, 1GB of RAM (upgradeable to 2GB), 4 USB ports, a 5-in-1 card reader, 802.11b/g/n, and optional Bluetooth.
The EB1006 also has an HDMI output and comes with a keyboard, mouse, and wireless remote control.
No word on pricing or availability yet. Update: The video is from nDevil, and apparently the EB1006 is due out in Europe in late June or early July for about 400 Euros, which is about $555 US. There will also be an NVIDIA ION version available soon, which basically means it’ll sport an NVIDIA graphics card instead of ATI graphics.
You can watch a short video after the break. It’ll make a little more sense if you speak German.
dude, the video is in german
Fun with Google Translate… yup, sounds like German. And it looks
like Eee PC Italia found the video on YouTube, didn’t shoot it
themselves. Thanks for catching that!

Someone needs to make one of these with a CULV chip, if it’s meant to hook up to a TV via HDMI.
