Cool, thanks-- I may do something similar-- is it obvious which are the right wires for the switch (my eee hasn't arrived yet)?

take the eee apart. locate the power switch. There are 5 (i think) different places where the power switch is soldered to the board. Touch two of them together with a wire, repeat until it turns on. Those are the two that you need to solder the external switch to.

Since this thread is all about Asus EeePC, I might as well share some of experience using it as a laptop. In Malaysia, all EeePC comes pre-loaded with Linux OS (Asus customised). To my surprises, it already have a "Voice Command" module installed. Though I didn't get a chance to test it myself but looking forward to it.

All the icons of the Linux is quite large & easy to navigate, but the disadvantages is that it doesn't have a touchscreen (easily compesated with Liliput). I'm still trying how to download the NLite Windows on the internet, can any gurus here give me some hint where I can download it ?
