Ingredients:

1 x Samsung 40″ LCD TV
1 x Asus EeeBox B202
1 x 2GB SODIMM
1 x Samsung 2GB USB stick
1 x VESA adaptor
1 x MCE IR adaptor
1 x Hauppauge HVR 900 USB tv card
2 x packets of rubber tap washers
1 x Windows 7 install DVD

Directions:

Upgrade EeeBox B202 RAM before configuring with latest Windows 7 build – use 2GB USB stick for ReadyBoost. When installation is complete, mount EeeBox VESA bracket (included with EeeBox) to VESA adaptor using screws provided with adaptor. Use 2 rubber tap washers to space from bracket. Next, mount VESA adaptor to back of television, again using supplied screws, with 1 tap washer to avoid possibility of damage to TV back surface. Finally, mount EeeBox to VESA bracket. Connect MCE IR adaptor and Hauppauge HVR 900 TV card via USB.

EeeBox can now be used as media center machine (bear in mind GMA950 graphics on B202, B204 or B206 may suit better), as well as a NAS box with it’s Gigabit Ethernet.

Serves 3… :-)
