I too am quite a cheakskate, but unfortunately I don't posses the skills to perform the extreme hacks this guy did to his EEE:
http://beta.ivancover.com/wiki/index...ernal_Upgrades
He somehow managed to cram the following hacks/extra hardware into the EEE and got it all working to boot!!!:
-Upgraded the WiFi to 802.11 a/b/g/n
-2 USB hubs which hook up the following
-GPS and Bluetooth with their respective antennas mounted into the bezel around the display
-An additional superfast internal 4GB USB Flash Drive: Corsair Voyager GT with a staggering stated rates of 34 MB/s read and 25 MB/s write speed
-A SD Card reader for even more expansion of his storage capacity
-A Telephone Modem
-Power switches for all of the new stuff he installed.
-FM transmitter to send Audio to any FM Radio
Not only has he found some empty space in the already tiny EEE for all this stuff, but he does an amazing job of making all the additional wiring look really neat and tidy as well!!! Wow, you gotta check out his pics.
This cost him an additional $454 odd bucks over what he paid for his EEE, not counting his not insignificant labor and expertise. I mean, how does one put a price on that level of geek l33t'ness?
Amazing. Wonder what the battery life now though?
