Asus has confirmed the existence of the Ebox, a desktop version of the popular Eee PC laptop.
The PC, which will be launched at next week's Computex trade show in Taiwan, will come in Windows XP and Linux flavors, as does its notebook counterpart. The product will have a "Vesa mount"--the type of fitting used on flat-panel LCD or plasma displays--so it can be fitted onto the back of certain monitors.
Asus UK's product manager, Peter Butler, told ZDNet UK on late Tuesday that the Ebox would be a "one-liter device", a reference to its small footprint. The dimensions of the box will be 22.2cm by 17.8cm by 2.7cm.
In terms of specifications, all that is known at this point is that the Ebox will contain a 160GB hard drive and 2GB of RAM. The processor is yet to be announced, as is the price.
Butler said the Ebox would be released in the UK at the "back end" of July.
