This machine running with the 3400 Radeon has all the power it needs for any high definition video playback. The 3450 will perform full CABAC and CAVLC offloading, I have a 2.3Ghz brisbane that idles at 7% utilization /1Ghz while playing back AVCHD 1080i and BD-ROM 1080p M2TS files.

I think you may have missed the point of the EEE Box. Put it out in the living room to use there, quiet, small, and unobtrusive. Yet able to play HD (post 202 models). For recording and such you use a box in the basement/closet/ (out of sight and hearing). You can then VNC into the remote box from the EEE box to choose what to record. In this configuration you would not store any media on the EEE box but play it remotely via GigE.

It is a great news for HDMI output. How about the price?

I'd also recommend looking at the Dell Studio Hybrid, which is similarly small, but uses standard Intel processors, and starts at only $449. It can even be had with a Blu-Ray drive and player software. Certainly not the box to get for a CableCard media center, but otherwise…
