I could give you many reasons why I would like to win this giveaway, but let's be fair...
We all want it because it's you who's giving it away Linus :P

But if you're asking:
- It's free (Well, if I would win...)
- It's finally something you can brag with for being small  ;) 
- I don't have a desktop pc, only an 'old' laptop which starts cooking at the simplest tasks.
- It would be the only desktop to ever fit in the very small room I have left behind my desk. (http://i.imgur.com/D9WSkui.jpg)
- ...

Good luck everybody :)

I like the small design and low noise, also would be nice upgrade compared my desktop.

I'd most likely use it as a secondary PC, or for gaming in the living room. In both cases a small PC like the Magnus seems pretty good, to save some space.

Great giveaway and good luck to everyone.

the size of it is perfect for a small home server to keep it out of sight.

I plan on moving to a different city to study and will probably commute a lot between home and the new city I'll end up in, so a small PC would help a lot with this.

I am going to tell you a story.

Long ago in the plain dry deserts (yes, as dry as your nan) a boy was born. His name is Matthew. He was a smart boy in fact he was so smart he showed his town how to make a spear. You see this wasn't any normal boy. This boy is special.

One of the anchors of living in Africa is money and Internet. So one day Matthew was visiting a small town named Gerries. Along the pathway to the cattle ranch Matthew discovered an Internet cafe that had a sign on it that read: "Free gigabit Fibre network for 1 hour." Matthews juices began to tingle. He ran inside and was suddenly knocked out.

He woke up 4 hours later discovering an image of a ZBOX MAGNUS.

He then knew that he must make it his life's goal to try and steal one.

But then he say this giveaway, and realized he doesn't have to steal one!!

Matthew would use this pc because it's lightweight and is easily portable from cattle farm to cattle farm, and even when the power is out he can STOLL PLAY thanks to his home made generator.

THANKS ESKOM FOR THE LOAD SHEDDING!!

K bye. Thanks.

1st off "green" what I mean by that is this is logical in a sense that I would use it for a HTPC vs something that would compete with it that would triple or maybe even quadruple the power. Using less energy never hurts anyone or the world. 2nd the specs on this thing are insane "for it's size" it's my belief it can do everything from Steam/Valve gaming to HTPC/XMBC/UBUNTU


 


 


made sure i followed #Zotac @ZOTAC Staff on  Twitter as well. Thanks for giving us all an opportunity to own this bad boy!

GREETINGS FROM SOUTH AFRICA,

 

​I most definitely want this awesome hardware, simply because it is way more overpowered than my LAPTOP that was given to me as a present 5 YEARS AGO.

My current specs on the laptop is:   CPU: i3-2350M     RAM:  4GB (upgraded to 8GB)    GPU: GT520MX.

 

​So YEAH I believe you see why I desperately want this ZOTAC little BEAST...

 

Farewell here from the bottom of the world.

 

P.S. You guys rule!!!  I only trust products after you guys have approved it, and it works.

Hi my name is Sam. The reason that i need that PC is because I currently have an old Dell Laptop that I use to play games and do my day to day tasks. It is using a gt540m and it is showing BSOD's and is really slow. I really need a new computer. I would buy a full desktop if I could but I'm 16 and I don't make much money. Thank You for your giveaways.

It's rather frustrating how you can't play games over 30 FPS because you only have 1 GB of GDDR3 at 500 MHz. Because of this, and how I have limited desk space, the ZBOX would be a gift from the gods.

Lel.

Our TV has limited multimedia functionalities. Therefore having a Steam Machine or a streaming device with something like Kodi on it would be nice. My parents only record and watch TV. Being able to watch Netflix or Youtube (especially for me) would be very convenient.  :rolleyes:
