I am searching for a Netbook.

So far, here are the two I am looking at: EEE PC 900HA vs MSI Wind U-100

My New Netbook
Although I had never heard the term prior to 30 October 2008, on 31 October I had purchased a new Netbook.

I looked into two different laptops, and ultimately decided to buy an MSI Wind because of the 6 cell battery. (I wanted a black one, but they were sold out of the black model on NewEgg; so I bought a white one without much hesitation.)

EEE PC
The EEE PC from ASUS costs $50 less, and has a 4cell battery, a 40GB larger HDD, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera.

MSI Wind U-100
The MSI Wind has a bigger display, built in Bluetooth, can read MS and MS Pro cards, weighs 1/2 pound less, and has a 1.3 megapixel camera.

Server
I found a neat Guide I found shows how to build a bare-bones machine for Windows Home Server, which is a project that I've been wanting to do for awhile.

Battery Life
US Battery.Net sells laptop batteries. Wind Laptop Batteries can be found here.
