Appearance equipment
Comes with: nettop itself, power supply (65 W), stand for vertical installation, VESA fasteners, keyboard and mouse. There was no disk with any software, so the drivers for the chipset and video card had to be downloaded from the site.
The case is made very high quality, it is pleasant to hold it in hand. The side panels are made of black glossy plastic (prints can not be avoided). On both sides there is a small groove on the border of the black and white parts - it is necessary for hanging on the VESA fastener.
On the front of the case is a slot for memory cards, audio input / output and an e-SATA port.
The back is more interesting :) Kensington lock, power input, D-Sub connector (I don’t know why they didn’t do DVI, you can always use an adapter), HDMI, Gigabit Ethernet port, 4 pcs. USB 2.0.
On top of the ventilation grille (blown-operated), and two USB ports (one of which is located on the right under the plug). In the port with a plug, I stuck a webcam, torn from EEE 701, which I glued to the USB plug.
Below is another air vent and connector for the stand. Also visible is a seal, under which there is a single screw.
I refused to place the nettop on the table right away, since it was bought specifically for a VESA mount on the monitor (hello boomburum) :)
A very interesting and convenient feature is the ability to adjust the height (see pictures):

A few words about the keyboard and mouse.
Both devices are connected via USB. They are made of glossy plastic. An ordinary optical mouse, rather notebook, rather than desktop, because too small.
Keyboard with split keys. Pressings are very soft and quiet, the layout is humanly made. Emotions from her are only positive.
Turning on
The power button does not work if you press it at the very top. The best option is to poke right in a circle.
As for noise, it is heard when SmartFan is turned off in the BIOS, while the fan speed is ~ 5400 rpm.
When the function is on, the noise disappears and the speed drops to ~ 2500. Processor temperature average 45 ° C.
So, the system manager gave a joyful "peak", and RevoBoot, unprecedented to me earlier, was loaded, which was immediately replaced by Windows 7, by connecting an external DVD-drive.
The installation (from the moment the disc was inserted to the full first boot) took ~ 25 minutes. But!
Performance test
First of all, after the launch, I wanted to check, but does HD 1080 really pull without problems?
Putting K-Lite Mega Codec Pack, I launch HD-video in 1920x1080 resolution.
And what do I see? That's right, I see the brakes. In the Performance tab of the task manager, I saw the lack of free RAM.
No problem. We must - add! I unscrew that single screw, snap off the cover, note the presence of a free memory slot. Fortunately, I left after the mini-upgrade the 1 GB DDR2 667 MHz bracket, which I took out of my EEE 901 (and again the salute).
After adding the bar, the “iGPU Frame Buffer Size” parameter has changed in the BIOS, which allows you to set the amount of RAM reserved by the integrated graphics processor for your own needs (you can choose up to 256 MB with 1 GB of memory, and up to 512 MB with 2 GB. I left the value Auto = 256).
When you restart the HD video, the memory remains ~ 800 MB - it's better, but the brakes still remain. This is my fault. Vyrbal "Improved video handler" in KMPlayer, and, voila!
No brakes, no sticking sound and scattering pictures! CPU usage when viewing was kept at 40%.
