Asus EeeBox 1012
The first Nettop from Asus to use the ION processor and hence the first to be capable of decoding HD video. Specifications are reasonable, with the dual core Atom being partnered with only 1GB of RAM. This model has eSATA and optical audio out unlike some others.

The EeeBox 1012 is a perfectly capable Mini-PC, but is priced high for the specification. For similar money you could get both a better specification and a DVD drive if you are willing to forgo the Asus brand.
