Much cheaper than a second adapter... I think I’ll simply construct a short (maybe 20 cm or so) extension cord to eliminate the problem of the adapter’s bulk. Much cheaper than a second adapter…

They will work fine but will be some what larger then the OEM supply. As for a case I use a Bible case to carry my EEE pc.

Mine was still within the "warranty" I had with the retailer, so I just took it back. The problem with sending it to Asus is you'll be without the Eee for a few weeks, and there really isn't any guarantee that you'll get one that's any better. The one I got in exchange still has a bit of a warp, but it's not nearly as bad. It seems to be a common problem, and a few people have managed to fix it.

I have an EEE 4g Galaxy Black... And I've noticed that the space bar is slightly higher on the left side (maybe 2mm) Do you think its worth sending back??? or do you know if others are like this?? How bad was yours that you sent back??

The main thing that I don't like about the Eee is the VGA out. Thanks to another link you provided I am going to wait to see how the Cloudbook turns out. It was suppose to be release on Jan 25 but was pushed back.
