Asus, currently on a crash-bang roller derby thanks to the massive success of the Eee, has stepped up its game in the desktop arena today with the announcement of the Nova P22. The sleek, white and orange box is in the size class of the Mac Mini, standing at just 2-inches in height, and features a 1.86GHz Core 2 Duo E6320 processor with a 1.06GHz front-side bus, 1GB of RAM, a 160GB hard drive, and what appears to be some sweet media center options. As of right now, the PC is only available in Taiwan, where you’ll drop around $1,019 for bragging rights. We can only hope they bring something with this much style to the US, so the Mini vs. Nova P22 flamewar can begin in earnest. The ball is in your court, Asus.

The closest HTC device we could
match this to is the Shift, a UMPC device
that runs both Vista and Windows mobile–but the connection’s
tenuous at best. What we do know is that the butt-side of this
thing has air vents and a battery pack, which makes us think that
this is a data-device instead of Sprint Mogul or Verizon
XV6800 WM6
phone. Whatever it is, it looks like it has Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 2.0,
CDMA, and EV-DO, with enough going on inside to need air vents.
Another thing that needs air vents? Our armpits, because we
still haven’t showered today. [FCC]
