ASUS makes a pretty handy, and it's handy not just because it's running ChromeOS, it's handy because of everything you can do to the box itself. The ASUS Chromebox is easily upgradeable, and capable of running just about any linux distribution. The model I picked up, the has the following specs: • Celeron 2955U (1.

Getting into the Hardware First off, you don't need to make any kind of system image before modifying the unit, you can simply remove the installed SSD and RAM and insert your new parts and go from there. In the instructions below, you'll make a USB stick that can be used to restore the disk to a factory fresh image of Chrome OS. To do this, first remove the four rubber feet on the bottom of the unit.

You may need to use a small flat head screwdriver to help get them off. Don't place them anywhere sticky side down! You'll then find four screws underneath where the feet were, remove them. Then carefully remove the bottom of the unit. This may be a little difficult, so you may try and slip a small screwdriver in the vents to help.

Don't scratch it up or use force. You should now be taking a look inside, and marvelling at the relative simplicity of the device! You'll see the RAM chip(s), which can be easily removed by opening the clips on the edges and lifting outward. If you are upgrading the SSD, you'll need a tiny screwdriver to remove the screw holding in the wireless/bluetooth card, which is easily identified by the two wires that connect to it.

You may remove this card entirely, or do like I did and just remove the screw holding it in and it should give you enough room to install the SSD. Underneath this is the stock Sandisk SSD, which is held in by one screw on it's far edge, so remove the screw, and pull out the SSD. Place your new SSD in the slot, and put the tiny screw back in to hold it. Now put the wireless/bluetooth card back in place, and put it's screw back in as well. Now put the bottom of the case back on, put the screws back in, and put the feet back on. You're done with the hardware upgrade!
