Netbook around £200?

Looked at the NB200, seemed nice, and cashback on certain models makes it less than £190, but my only thought was the keys were a little small and cheap feeling. It's also a little larger than the one I eventually went for.

I bought an Asus Eee PC 1001HA with a 6-cell battery. It's basically identical to the 1005HA but has a different finish, which seems as though it will attract scratches a little less as well as being different!

Waiting for it to arrive, but will probably be doing a review of it when it does and I have used it for a while. Cost me ~£212 once all is said and done (e.g. quidco). Not bad at all.

Comes with XP, but thinking about going straight to Ubuntu netbook remix if possible. XP is ancient and a lot more susceptible to viruses/crap than ubuntu. Means I won't have to cripple the CPU with an A/V prog too.

There's also expressgate I believe and the possibility of dual booting I hope.

Anyone got a 1001HA or 1005HA and an opinion on it?
 
What cases are people using with their netbooks?

There seems to be a well-priced targus slipcase, but lots of reviews say their netbooks don't fit in it. It's the 10.2" version I think.
 
Anyone got some battery life figures for the Dell Mini? There are some good deals on refurbished but they suffer from the old 3 cell battery and I suspect they won't be great on the self-power front.
