As a self-employed computer engineer customers are always asking what I'd recommend for a laptop... I must look into these upgrades to see if I could make a decent margin upgrading these to be more useful and selling them on.
I like the idea of adding a 16gb USB flash drive internally. Seeing these mods I think I'm gonna order myself one of these EEE PCs - can anyone tell me the cheapest place to order one from?

Imagine if Asus can take this one step further, and come up with a more modular EEE PC with changes that a typical home user can pull off.

This is bunny and friends. He is fed up waiting for everyone to help him out, and decided to help himself instead!
These hacks are great, but they're pretty old news now. I'm really looking forward to a new batch of mods with the second gen EEE.
Didn't alienware try this with graphics cards? I know they aren't in a similar price or form factor bracket at all - but that didn't take off at all.Originally Posted by Lucio
The RAM is practically modular already. In that you unscrew a hatch, pull out the old stick and push one in. I'd worry that a fully modular system would be quite a bit bigger though =/
Scan sell them, thought they appear to be out of stock at present.
If you want the cheapest possible price, then google is your friend, but as with anything else IT related, if you don't want to get ripped of, then buy from someone reputable rather than the cheapest.
Play.com often have them in stock, if you head over to eeeuser.com there's an automatic stock checker for all versions of the EEE in the UK (it's in the prices and preorders section of the forums).
Or you could just wander down to your local Toys R Us (they only stock the white ones though)
..what, no touchscreen mod too?
