Hi.
The Zotac ZBOX would help me immensely as I could finally complete the gaming/media room for myself and my little brother, as he currently (read - after Christmas) only has my 5 year old Acer laptop with a newly bought SSD boot drive and some new memory sticks. The ZBOX being a barebones kit would be extremely practical as I could just buy new RAM and install the SSD and the HDD from the laptop in the ZBOX , granting my brother an impeccable first experience of gaming and it's wonders. The ZBOX would in addition serve greatly as a HTPC when connected to my NAS and because of it's small size, would be ideal as the room has limited space.
Fun fact: My middle name is Magnus, which is Latin for large or great.
