Comments about ASUS Eee Box Desktop Computer (Pure White):
I have expensive sewing software and don't want to update it for Win 7 or Vista. This little PC is perfect for my studio. It's fast and I loaded all of the software with a portable hard drive. It's a small profile so I've got new desk space for my projects. The wireless adapter worked great and it has enough ports for all my needs.
