I still have my original 7" EEE PC somewhere in storage (batteries removed). It was the 900mhz model which I imported from Asia. That little thing was so cool, with a little utility I could undervolt and downclock it to 700mhz. That way the fan would never run and the battery time was very long. I absolutely loved that little machine.
Ive got 2 different models that i cant remember the models for collecting dust, ive been thinking of using the carcass of one and upgrade it with a better screen and some sbc
Hah, I did exactly the same. Mine arrived with a broken fan, but it didn’t matter because it never kicked in anyway. I used it as a Gameboy emulator for quite a while, it was actually small enough to hold like a handheld with QWAS acting as a Dpad.
Learning how to type with that tiny keyboard was a fun challenge.

I have one with a blazing fast 1.6GHz Atom. Doesn’t do too bad with Linux even nowadays but the 1024x600 screen really brings it down
