Engadget spotted the ASUS EeeBox EB1501U nettop at CeBIT, this model features the NVIDIA ION platform with Intel Atom 330 dual-core processor and support for USB 3.0. Pricing and availability is unknown.
The EeeBox EB1501U sports a typical nettop processor -- in this case, the older Diamondville Intel Atom 330 dual core -- with Ion One, and as an added bonus, there's USB 3.0 support. Also under the hood? A 2.5-inch, 320GB HDD, DVD drive, and 802.11b/g/n WiFi. As for the other home theater PC box, the EeeMedia EM0501 isn't quite as exciting -- just a 800MHz Samsung ARM processor, a variety of codec supports, and HDMI out.
