Probably the internet’s most popular deal-a-day website Woot.com seems to be quite found of the Asus Eee 900 [Portal page]. They have offered it several times in past and today you can find it on not just one, but two of their sites.
On Woot.com today you’ll find the Asus Eee 900 featuring the 900 MHz Celeron CPU, 512MB of RAM, 8.9” 1024×600 resolution screen, 4GB of SSD storage and Asus’ custom Xandros Linux for Eee PCs.
On Sellout.Woot.com you’ll find a slightly better version of the Eee 900 which has identical specs except it runs Windows XP, includes a webcam, and has double the SSD storage (8GB). Uh-oh looks like this one is already sold out!
Both units are refurbished but can be had for the very reasonable price of $150 and $180 respectively. If you are interested, buy quick! Once they sell out or the day is over, they are gone! (note: Sorry international friends, Woot and Sellout.Woot only ship in the US)

The Dell Outlet store usually has returned/open box/refurb base models of the Mini 9 for $189/$199. Couple bucks more if you want more storage, webcam, bluetooth, custom color or XP. If they don’t have the specific one you want, just check back often. Unless you are looking for 64GB SSD, you’ll find one within a few days. It has the best screen on a netbook, largest keyboard on a 9″ (though the layout sucks), better then average battery life (due to no moving parts) and it is the best of OSX hackintoshing. You might get free shipping but they’ll probably make you pay tax. If you can find a coupon, even better. That is the best deal if you are looking for CHEAP!

I’d recommend people hold off for a refurbished 900HA. The 900’s SSD drives are simply horrible. And purchasing an SSD drive upgrade for the refurbished unit would increase the price of the 900 to the 900HA’s price point.
