In case you don’t know, Windows 7 is closer than ever which means we’re going to see a lot of new desktops, nettops and all-in-one computers bragging about the fact that they can run the new Microsoft OS.

Such is the case of the newly launched EeeBox EB1501 nettop coming from Asus. Besides the new OS, this computer comes with NVIDIA’s Ion chipset on board which, together with Intel’s Atom 333 dual-core processor should get the job done for you. Other specs include 2GB of RAM, 250 HDD, built-in DVD burner and HDMI connectivity. How much for it? Well just $580!

The prices for UK look a bit steep at $893 and $1,312, respectively, but you should expect to get them for much less in the US. There’s no news as to when and where these babies will appear next but Asus will probably start selling the Eee Tops in most markets soon after the European release.

We’ve been pondering the use of one of ASUS’ EeeBox PCs as a home theater PC ever since December of 08. However, until now the hardware’s specs haven’t been good enough to justify its use in the home theater, that is, until the EeeBox EB1012 was announced.

This device will feature a dual-core Atom N330 processor, a NVIDIA MCP7A ION GPU, 2-4GB of DDR2 ram, a 250GB hard drive, WiFi, Ethernet, an eSATA port, 4 USB ports, a SDHC card reader, a 5.1 audio jack and most importantly an HDMI out port.

So yes, given the above specs this computer will be able to handle 1080p video without breaking a sweat. Too bad ASUS has yet to say anything in terms of a release date or price point, bummer.
