Pictures of the Eee Monitor, the upcoming all-in-one desktop PC from Asus, have surfaced.

A PC World reporter at the Computex trade show in Taipei snapped a few photos of a company slide showing the Eee Monitor. Head here for the images.

It appears quite iMac-esque -- shiny and white with a minimalist design. Although Asus isn't confirming a price just yet, it's a fair assumption that the Monitor -- part of Asus' low-cost Eee line -- won't have an iMac-esque price tag.

Details surfaced in January and suggested a $499 (£250) price point. The Eee Monitor is supposed to use Intel's Shelton platform and include a TV tuner, and a display between 19 inches and 21 inches.

It should be available in September, which is almost a year after new all-in-one PCs from Dell and Gateway began to hit the market.
