i havent seen any adapters my self... there are some mitx boards they have mini-pcie connectors but they are not cheap and require mobile cpus to be used. i would put it up on the bay or something for someone that wants to try out ssd in their eee pc.

Yea I would ebay it and take the money personally. The EEE PC SSD is a low performance drive optimized for cost, its not going to have the performance benefits that the laptop/desktop SSDs show.
