Brad Linder has posted up news of a “Pre-Black Friday” deal involving the Eee Box - the desktop equivalent of the Eee PC netbook.

If you are quick - the deal only runs for one day - J&R Music and Computer World are selling the Eee Box on Amazon.com for $269.99 which is a good saving of between $20 and $50 on the usual selling price of the PC.

Here is a quick rundown of the features and specs of the Asus Eee Box on offer:

• Full-powered desktop PC in tiny package–perfect for de-cluttering desk or adding to HDTV as media hub
• Energy-efficient 1.6 GHZ Intel Atom processor helps reduce electric bill and carbon footprint
• Boots up as quickly as 7 seconds, mounts on back of a VESA-compatible HDTV
• 80 GB hard drive, 1 GB RAM, Draft-N Wi-Fi (802.11b/g/n), Gigabit Ethernet, four USB ports, DVI video output
• Pre-installed with Windows XP Home; includes Microsoft Works for word processing and spreadsheets

So, if you are in the market for an Eee PC that stays at home or in the office, this could be an enticing offer for you or, you could wait until Black Friday and try your luck with the deals on offer then. Decisions, decisions.

SingTel are bringing the new Asus Eee PC 901 HSUPA 3.5G, also known as the 901 Go, to Singapore.

Based on the Eee PC 901 model, the 901 Go has the addition of an internal 3.5G HSUPA modem plus a slot for reading sim cards. Connectivity is what the ‘Go’ is about, letting it live up to it’s name as a netbook.

Between the 18th of October and the 14th of November, subscribers to SingTel’s mobile broadband plan can pick up the Eee PC 901 Go at S$498, discounted from the S$898 it will cost without the service.

For our friends in the U.S. who have been eagerly anticipating the release of the Asus Eee PC 900, you have more reason to rejoice. Crave has the scoop and the confirmation from their Asus contacts. Mark the date, May 12, 2008. The Asus Eee PC 900 is finally US bound. And the most important part of all, how much will it cost? A whooping $549!

That price may be a lot as compared to the Eee PC 701 but hey, you’ll get stuff such as 1GB RAM, 1024×600 screen resolution, and either a 12Gb or 20GB SSD, plus more.

The question now is, has the Eee PC established enough loyal American users who have purchased and loved the Eee PC 701 to make them buy the Eee PC 900 as well? That is despite the price increase? That would be interesting to find out.
