Details on the Asus Chromebox at last:

The diminutive power-efficient fanless PCs will be available in various configurations, with prices starting at $179 in the US.

Two distinct Haswell-toting flavours will be available first. The cheapest uses the Chromebook staple Celeron 2955U CPU and 2GB of RAM, while a pricier, more powerful version pairs an Intel Core i3-4010U with 4GB of RAM.
So, a very cheap but slowish version, and a faster one which will give the current Samsung Chromebox a good competitor. These also have an SD card slot, which the Samsung doesn't (though it was easy enough for me to get a USB SD adapter).

ASUS say that an i7-powered variant will be available in select countries outside of North America.
Now, that's going to be worth watching out for.
