The MSI Wind is gold. An oldey but a goody.

http://gen.gmarket.co.kr/challenge/neo_goods/goods.asp?goodscode=178418252&pos_shop_cd=SH&pos_class_cd=111111111&pos_class_kind=T&keyword_order=msi+wind+u100&search_keyword=msi%20wind%20u100

420,000 with a RAM upgrade (2GB). There is a factory supported (you won't void your warranty by using it) bios upgrade that lets you overclock the CPU for better performance. As for the OS. This one will come with Korean XP. You can put Linux on it or torrent windows7 for nothing. Getting English OS in Korea can be a pain in the ass.

I have an Asus 900 EEE Pc that I would be willing to sell.

http://www.asus.com/product.aspx?P_ID=PGEqzGdfmtS5rjPk

It has Windows XP Home full install.

Office 2003.

2GB of Memory.

C drive is 4GB. D drive is 8GB. It also has a flash card that has another 8GB of storage.

The netbook has 2 solid state drives (C,D) and it has the original battery that works fine (about 2.5 hours) plus a 3rd party battery that provides over 4 hours of power.

It is pearl white with a few minor surface scratches. It has built in wi-fi and wireless.

I'd sell it for 250,000 Won. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I have a HP Mini which I love. You can buy them pretty cheap now. Just download 'tiny' Windows 7 version and you are good to go.

I believe that those early Eee PCs actually had slots for 2 physical drives. So, in fact, he may have 2 separate SSDs.
