Asus has announced it intends to begin shipping the ultra low-cost EEE PC in September. According to Asus, the E’s in the title stand for “Easy to learn”, “Excellent Internet”, and “Excellent mobile computing experience.” Asus reportedly plans to ship up to 500,000 of these systems in 2007, and up to 3-5 million in 2008.

I think it’s officially time to resurrect my mini MAME project. This would make a sweet desktop arcade cabinet and the price isn’t so bad.
