I didn’t bother to write a real How To, as it’s insanely simple.
Here’s how it looks when you take the bottom cover off:
Take the screws out and pull down on it to unplug it.
Swap the cage over to the new HDD by removing the 4 phillips screws on the sides.
Drop it in, slide it upwards to seat it on the connector, bolt it back down and put the cover back on.
Now you have a lot more space.
The offtopic forums, and thus a lot of the viewers moved to www.memphisofftopic.com
Pretty cool site, worth checking out for sure.

Apparently someone shot a porn in a bartlett park. I must find said porn, as odds are someone knows the girl in it, and it will make me laugh. You have your orders, go!
Free service from Microsoft that allows you to remote desktop to any of your computers from anywhere and use it as if you were sitting in front of it.
Useful for playing loud music while I’m at work to annoying my girlfriend who’s sleeping at my apartment.
Also useful as you can copy and paste files from the remote computer to your 5GB of online storage, or to the computer you’re on now. In other words, you can never forget a file again, as long as it’s on a PC with Mesh and an internet connection.
Here’s a screenshot of “My computer” on my home computer, as seen from the Mesh interface on my EeePC. That’s my home desktop. I even used the snipping tool on my home PC to take the screenshot, then saved it to my home desktop, clicked “copy” and pasted it to the desktop. Pretty cool stuff, especially for free.
Holy shit, closest thing to home cooking I’ve found. The menu is fairly limited, but my god, it’s great.
They do lunch from 7 to 11. I will let the picture do the talking.
They also do plate lunches, including meat loaf, BBQ, burgers, etc with veggies and assorted other sides. I’ve yet to check that out, but I definitely will, based on the breakfast.

I finally got everything set up and actually have the time to write a full review of this thing. I have to say, it’s probably the best electronics purchase I’ve made in a long time.
It’s hard to really appreciate how small it is unless you see it compared to something of known size. Here’s the 10″ EeePC on my 17″ HP:
Since getting it, I upgraded the RAM to 2GB, and installed a vLite‘ed version of Vista. I plan to do a vLite tutorial soon. I also ordered a Western Digital 320GB hdd to replace the 80GB HDD that’s in it. All of this stuff can be found on my EeePC Amazon Store.
I was going to do a tutorial on replacing the ram, but if you’ve ever done anything at all to a computer, it’s simple it would be a waste of time. Take out two screws and you get this
Take the old ram out and put your new ram in. Reverse the direction of the screws. You’re done. You can also see that the HDD is right there, it should be just as easy to swap, if I run into any problems I’ll post about it. I should get my new drive Monday.
To get the computer to recognize the ram, you need to reboot and go into bios, check the ram, then save and exit. The quick boot function doesn’t poll the ram on every start.
The Windows Experience Index rates mine a 2.7, based on the “Gaming performance” score. The second lowest score is a 3.0.
I can’t speak for a full install of Vista, but the vlited copy I’m using runs flawlessly. Everything opens pretty much instantly with no lag at all. Streaming high res video from Hulu.com runs great. The touchpad software is pretty freaking cool, with multitouch features. I would suggest you go into mouse settings and disable the touchpad while keying, so you don’t accidentally move your cursor around, and I would also suggest you disable the two finger tap feature. Two finger scroll acts like a scroll wheel, which is awesome. Two finger tap acts like a middle click. This would be awesome if it didn’t frequently mistake an attempt to scroll as a click. Trust me, just turn it off. Also, the shift key on the right hand side is in an odd place, I used SharpKeys to swap it with the up arrow key, it works a lot better that way, in my opinion.
Here’s an actual resolution shot of my desktop, so you have an idea of the screen size:
Battery life is pretty amazing too. I have mine set to “high performance”, and I’ve been using it for about three hours today. It still estimates two hours left. It will go close to 8 on power saving mode.
I really can’t say enough good things about the 1000H. It would be a stretch to suggest it as an only computer, but it’s basically perfect as a mobile computer. Capable of 99% of the stuff of a “normal” laptop, while costing less and being much better suited to actually doing stuff away from home or the office. I typed part of this on my lunch break, tethered to my phone via the built in bluetooth.
Trust me, you want one.
Seriously, the Eee PC 1000H has got to be the best portable device I’ve had the pleasure of using.
The size is pretty much perfect. It’s big enough to have a usable keyboard and screen, while still small enough to take anywhere.
Video looks great on it, performance is more than adequate, storage space is ample, as I barely use it anyway, opting to keep most stuff on an external or a server.
Would I like more RAM? Yes, yes I would. That’s why I bought a 2GB Stick. I’ll install it tomorrow and likely do a simple guide for noobs who have never swapped RAM.
Would I like a faster processor? Of course, that’s like asking if I would like more horsepower. The Intel Atom in the Eee deals with the intended purposes of a netbook flawlessly while getting amazing battery life.
In short, I think it’s fucking amazing. It so amazing it makes me want to punch an emu right in the face.
