ASUS Eee Box Sheds its Fans
The new Eee Box EB1037 from ASUS is the company's first completely fan-less nettop in the series. It's part of the company's new 2014 Eee PC series, and offers an impressive new hardware feature-set, compared to its humble Atom N270 beginnings.
The EB1037 runs an Intel Celeron J1900 SoC, with a quad-core x86-64 CPU clocked at 2.42 GHz; up to 8 GB of DDR3 memory, NVIDIA GeForce GT 820M graphics with 512 MB dedicated memory, HDD options ranging from 320 GB to 1 TB, and SSD options ranging between 64 GB and 128 GB. On the connectivity front, you get a 4-in-1 card reader, two USB 3.0 ports, four USB 2.0 ports, gigabit Ethernet, WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, and display outputs that include HDMI and D-Sub. Prices start at 299€.
Update (7th Feb, 2014): It turns out that the EeeBox EB1037 does indeed have a small fan over the CPU+PCH combination block, ASUS clarified.

But why in heaven does it feature 1 HDMI and 1 VGA, come on!
An generally speaking, why are there no USB 3 ports with full USB 2 compatibilty, so we can get rid of having 2 kind of ports!?!?!? STONE AGE!!!! Also increidible, yesterday I was in a big computer warehouse: and behold! 90% of all pendrives were USB2 and there were NO USB3 HUBS!!!!!! WTF??????
That's with...
* 4GB RAM
* 500G HDD
* Wireless Keyboard and Mouse
* Windows 8.1 (64bit)
All you need is a monitor.
I love how humans can fuck themselfs.
