I caught on the ASUS Eee PC bug a few months ago and bought one for myself but it was annoying to have to carry the power adapter to work everyday because it reduced the portability of the device. However, I looked everywhere for a decent power adapter that would work on the Eee PC. It uses a very weird 9.5V 2.5A draw which is uncommon and not found in most universal adapters. Car adapters work and they are cheap but the amperage is hard to get in 12 v cigarette adapters for the home. Then one of the co-workers found AllElectronics.com and we found an adapter that works. It was $17 shipped and it works just fine on my EeePC. The model number is PS-930 and you can buy it here. It is a 9V adapter wth a 3A draw and it performs wonderfully. Hope this helps someone.

Hi! I am getting ready to purchase an EEE pc was wondering about your post. Could you possibly tell me if this power adapter you found works on the EEE PC 8G model, and does this adapter accept 230v input so it would work in Europe?
Cheers,
Jude
Jude: It does work with 100-240V so it would work fine in Europe with a simple adapter plug for the pins. However, I do not know if it would work for the 8G since I do not own one. Take a quick look at the specs on the existing power brick. If everything else is the same except the size of the SSD drive (which I assume it is), it should work just fine.

Thank you Very Much Jude, you just saved me $30, and my eee pc.
And when I say Jude, I mean Mark. Whoops.
Looks like such a great idea. Shame they don\’t seem to stock them. Anyone got any ideas as to where else I might find one?
Thanks, My eee pc adapter is burn, so looking for good one, as u mentioned it\’s odd voltage and current ratings, i will try your suggestion, thanks a lot.
