Yeah, we couldn't help ourselves. It was late on Friday afternoon and we were rounding things up for the week but we just couldn't leave it be - we broke apart the Eee PC 900.

Yes!

And for a change without a screw spare, unlike the rock...

I am impressed

breeding screws are a nightmare!
Is it now for sale somewhere as shop soiled? Bargain hunt

what would happen if you were to plug the PCI-E module into a desktop mobo?

It wouldn't fit easily. If I am right in thinking it is this then you may be able to modify it a bit and make it work.

...And now for the most important question: where you able to hook the screen up to the 701? I would love to start hacking away at my beloved 701 to cram in the bigger screen!

Could we use such SSD in a personal computer instead of a laptop ?

Quite likely, yes, providing it has a spare internal mini PCI-E port.

And as for telling Asus... they'll know tomorrow morning

Keep it so you can do a side by side when you get the Atom

Don't mention the Tic Tac

Although that was me and Tim and in my defense I only helped with the disassembly...

this made techmeme! is that a first for bit?

Bindibadgi · 20th Apr 2008, 20:51

We are on Engadget, the Guardian and a few other places too.

<3 to them all

Hugo means the Zotac 9800 GX2 we took apart. Lets put it this way - if you don't plug the fan back in and the whole thing (even the outside) reaches 80C, it's not a good thing.

HugoB · 20th Apr 2008, 22:26

Especially when you try and pick it up!! It was that special kind of hot that you don't quite notice until you've had your fingers on the surface of the damned thing for 30 seconds and by then it's too late...

Out of interest, did you get the Eee back together and working again?
