A new SSD is very crucial in my system I have an old Original Intel SSD that I got ages ago and it is nearing its end. I cannot afford an SSD currently due to many things but everyone needs one. When I actually reach out to a support Desk (Microsoft) for my install being impossibly stubborn with updates they are amazed at the speeds that my old Intel Drive runs at. I would go nuts running windows off of my Mechanical drives that I have since the speeds would be vastly dropped. Everyone should at lease experience an SSD that is in good operating condition on a computer since the misconceptions of old hardware usually vanishes. For most home computers getting an SSD to run the OS and having the old mechanical drive as storage can extend the usable life of the computer.

Hello my name is Steven, I am interested in the ZBOX due to its size and slight customization. I do not own a laptop and I need a more portable rig then my 80+Lbs monster that I use. I despise laptops due to the usually limited upgrade ability and customization. The ZBOX would allow me to have a portable work station that I can make fit my needs and all I need is my keyboard track pad all in one and a display. Then when I am done with my work I can game without spending HUGE amounts of money on a gaming laptop that can also handle my work load. This would be an ideal solution to my problem since I can do my 3D modeling for my work and school and I can easily game on the go when I am done, I cannot afford to spend the money on a laptop with this power and have parts to spare to make it run perfectly.

I have always had computers, and have always upgraded them. This is how my pc sits now and where it came from. It all started a long time ago when my dad got me a Dell Studio XPS. I will list the specs how it came out of the box- Intel Core 2 Duo(Don't remember the model) 500GB WD HDD 2 Optical CD/DVD RW drives 4GB DDR2 RAM Over time i upgraded it to the point of having a new PSU and Nvidia GTX 460. This computer lasted me about 5 YEARS, then the somewhat cheap PSU fried the CPU, Motherboard, and the windows install due to it crashing. At this point the new build started. When we started ordering this is what we got first. Intel DX79TO Motherboard i7 3820 Corsair GS800 PSU 16GB HyperX Fury DDR3 RAM SlintX CPU cooler(the fan clicks but I am too lazy to replace it) SoundBlaster ZX audio card to connect my sound system. The case was a very old all white one that we had laying around since the board was too big. We reinstalled the GTX 460, mounted the old 500GB HDD and put an even older 500GB HDD out of our file server, stuck the optical drives in then installed 7 home premium. This is how it sat for about 6 months. Then the holiday season arrived, we got a new case, 16GB of the same ram, and another old HDD(1TB). We got a Cooler Master Cosmos II right off the shelf of Fry's electronic (I miss that store) Then over the next year and a half I got a GTX 760($100 and free shipping off Newegg at the time) 8GB of temp. ram until I can get 32GB of the other ram. A 700 series SDD from intel, then put 7 Pro on it. Formatted the 2 500GB drives and raid0 them. Currently I have 4.5TB of space with 1TB being a RAID0(only steam games) a old 1TB for documents and system folders. External 2TB for programs. Then the SDD has only the os and like 5 Programs. My CPU is running 4GHz and boost to 4.2GHz and 40GB of ram(Just a little bit of overkill). The GTX 760 has two profiles in afterburner one stock for non-gaming usage, 1 OC for gaming. The Computer spits out a lot of heat I don't need a heater EVER, I only need AC in the summer. The best part is that one of the HDD is older then all the new parts combined, the manufacturing date was in 2000. If you want pictures please ask and I will put some up. I quickly took some pictures while listening to the new video about the raspberry pi, which was fun since I had to move my 80 lbs machine to the other side to open it up. http://imgur.com/a/Lh8EM for the images. That are not the greatest I could of taken but the quickest.
