I think this is a list of things you need to supplement your EEE PC with:
1. IDE to USB cable
2. a portable external HDD
3. an extra USB mouse
4. a good internet connection
5. upgrade to 1 gig ddr2 ram
6. vlc media player
7. lincity - ng
6. some good emulators for gba, atari, etc
and if the budget falls within 25k for the 8 gig model, count me in
