A number of the dual core Atom CPU+motherboard combos are fanless. Some of them like the Zotac board include an onboard connector for a power brick (fanless), instead of requiring a regular PSU.
In my experience, that message means the HDD booted first, but it was found to be blank, giving the error. Is the CDROM set as the 1st priority boot device in BIOS? Is the HDD model number displayed in the BIOS anywhere? Does the BIOS have a SMART check utility built-in? You may want to try...
Yes, it's normal. It might depend on the motherboard drivers installed. Even if you try to eject it, it should give a warning about it being a system drive. It's not really a problem except for the icon present in the tray.

DailyTech story from December 2008:

It's about $50 more than the previous EEE Box B202 w/XP. The differences are it has HDMI out instead of DVI...
From what I understand the 256GB is using the second gen controller, which is why the speeds are so much higher. It would also explain the deals lately on the older first gen Samsung SLC and MLC drives - OCZ Summit and others will be hitting the market soon.
The story is on Gamespot now, too. I wonder how this fits in with E3, which is at the beginning of June this year. Would they drop the price if Sony does the same? Even if they are Jaspers, it seems like a smart idea to wait the extra month until E3 is over, just in case.
