Gizmodo —
... replaces the Intel Atom chip that currently dominates the line. The rest is pretty standard stuff. It runs Windows XP (Asus "recommends" Vista, cha-ching!), and comes with an 80, 120 or 160GB hard drive. There's also 4 USB ports, a flash card reader, DVI out, Ethernet port and wifi. Pricing wasn't available, but Liliputing expects it to check in slightly lower than the Atom version. Note: Image is of the original Eee Box. [Asus via EeePC.it via Liliputing]

Asus unveils Celeron-based Eee Box B203
Engadget —
... B203 has popped up on Asus' website. Aside from the the Intel C220 processor, very little has changed from the Atom-based Eee Box B202: it sports Windows XP Home, ships with up to 2GB RAM and 160GB storage, and measures a diminutive 222 x 178 x 26.9 mm (roughly 8.7 x 7 x 1 inches). Of course, it still ain't the prettiest device we've ever seen -- but if it's cheaper, faster, and small enough to fit behind your monitor anyways, we'll gladly overlook the paint job.

Eee Box gets Celeron crossgrade
Boing Boing Gadgets —
Spotted at Italian Eee fansite EeePC.it, news of Celeron-equipped desltops for the locals adds yet another Eee PC to the dozens already in existence.

ASUS Eee Box B203 with Celeron C220 confirmed
SlashGear —
... remain the same, which means a choice of 80GB, 120GB or 160GB hard-drives and up to 2GB of RAM. Connectivity includes ethernet and WiFi, a DVI output, four USB 2.0 ports and a multi-format memory card reader.
The B203 can be fixed to the back of a monitor, presumably via the VESA mounting holes, and is still quiet in operation; ASUS claim just 26dB. Pricing is yet to be confirmed, but it’s likely to be cheaper than the original Atom-powered Eee Box models.

Tech Ticker —
... runs at a clock speed of 1.2GHz. Other specifications remain the same as B202 except for storage option and memory, which now goes up to 160GB and 2GB respectively.
B203 runs Windows XP Home and features 802.11n, Ethernet, 4-in-1 card reader, 4 USB ports, 1 DVI port, mic in, headphone-out and line-out.
No word on the pricing but it will be more or less the same since B203 leverages the slower processor with an expanded memory.
