Kangum:
arrgh NiN you got the black one. i should have got the black one. oh well.

NiN^_^NiN:
Ahh u lucky bugger nice mac :)

I got the black cause its all they had lol i got it a week after it came out (i totally forgot about it and happened to stumble upon a pic on a website saying it was out in australia)

The guy told me that they ran out of stock so quick that that they just got new stock in the day before and they where all black :)

Still annoyed they made it $100 more than the US price bloody wanting more money from the AUS side Grrrr

Still it's a fantastic and damn fast PC too :D i've been surfing the net and playing GTA VC on it

I quite liked the linux on it but i put XP on so i can use all the emulators and a few windows programs

I Still didn't try mame out on it lastnight doh but it is the perfect size for a nice mini desktop arcade cab

i don't know if i could bring myself to wrecking one of them tho  :'(

Kangum:
it sucks you had to pay a little more for it then normal but black really does look awesome. so it was worth it. your idea of using a dvd to compare its size was brilliant. much better then the dollar bill i used. the dvd really shows how small and portable it is.

my reason for xp was the same. emulators plus alot of windows programs i wanted to use. plus xp is so fast on it why not.

did you do the external monitor trick to get GTA to work? i know ever since i did it all games hop right into 640x480x32 with no troubles. or did it support the resolution stock.

ive been meaning to try fable on it forever. maybe i will tomorrow.

NiN^_^NiN:
Yeah i thought DVD case was almost the same size so i used that to compare cause everyone has at least 1 dvd case around  :)

For GTA to work i am using a hacked video driver that allows it to go to 640 x 480 to work it works well but the downfall is if you standby or hibernate the video comes up garbled and also i can't do external monitor mirroring the eee pc monitor i can only expand my desktop to that monitor but that worked fine for video aswell :)

I just tried mame out and it was great altho the keyboard is alil small you have to know where ur pressing but it worked great

I used Street fighter Zero 3 im guessing thats a semi gpu instensive game to show how well it works altho i dont know if its quite simple to run.

I ran mame and the roms off my main pc through wifi and never had any problems what so ever no slowdown or studder it worked fantastic :)

I've been using it to watch some HD video and all that and it's worked great but i never tried running emulators and roms from the wifi and that works great :D

Here are some pics of it running mame











Verticle games look great on it aswell :) i really would love to make a mini cocktail cab using a eeepc but as i said i don't think i can bring myself to take it apart

Kangum:
ohhhh mame looks really great. I have no clue how to run it from a network like you did. In fact thats why I hadnt tested mame yet because of the space requirements. i dont want to put to much stuf on it because i think i may try some mods.

Have you seen the touchscreen mode from the asus eee website.

that touchscreen modification only cost him 60 bucks. this is something I may look into after watching his install video. there is almost no soldering at all and it goes into the internal usb port.
