    An internet search for the model you have cited results in references to a wifi card only, not to a mini pc.

    Upon enlarging the second of your photographs post #2, I can see something like EeeBox PC located below the word ASUS, at lower/centre of bottom of unit, near the Windows sticker. I assume it is the bottom due to the presence of what look like rubber feet, one in each corner.

    I can find reference to Asus EeeBox PC on the WWW, however there are various models of EeeBox PC, e.g. ASUS Eee PC 900HA, ASUS Eee PC 1001PX 1001HA 1002H 1002HA 1002SA etc.

    Are you absolutely certain that the model detail you have provided is correct?

    Please check the model number of the unit to which you refer and provide additional info. if possible and I shall continue my search for disassembly instructions, such as those at .

    ahhaa I got all screws. I figured there was a trick to opening it. Thanks Philquad. Most of those you physically have to fully disassemble are crap to work with imo. How funny. I was chasing my tail with the details I provided. You were right Tristan, Its a eebox EB1033 My eyesight aint what it used to be. Looked like all Chinese writing on right side of ASUS so didnt even blink twice at the important details.

    Thats the link I was looking for. easy peasy :-)
    Thanks again for your help guys
