Changing the CMOS Battery
Looks like mostly opening the thing like one was changing the fan or hard drive to get at the CMOS battery, but what should one get for a replacement?
Is this a good question?

The fan replacement guide has a decent picture of the CMOS battery; here I've cropped it down the just the battery.
It has the battery specifications written right on it; the text CR2032 tells you exactly what the battery is; it's 20 mm wide and 3.2 mm thick. Those button cell batteries are readily available at most stores, but the problem is in your laptop they've wrapped it in plastic and connected a couple of wires and a plug to it. An online search for "Asus Eee PC 1201N cmos battery replacement" brings up several results; here's one that specifically mentions your particular model number, but there are many more choices available.
