As they say dynamite comes in small packages,

this would make an awesome media server and great for LAN parties pack up and go. 

Sure does pack a punch

Wow, really nice giveaway! Thanks Linus and Zotac!

 

I would make this into a windows gaming pc for my TV. Small, powerful and quiet.

 

*fingers crossed*

I like this as i cant take my desktop to work i do nights in a learning disability hispital. And this machine is compact and portable. Oh and its very cool. To add its more powerful than my current desktop.

My reason is that I feel like small easily hidden computers make a work space look so much more professional. Also its an incredibly bad ass little box that can play witcher 3 on high, I mean what other reason could you need.

Reason:

1. This would make for a good experimenting machine for me.

2. I could also use it as a gaming PC connected to my tv so my son could play when i'm using my computer.

3. Could use it to render some of my 3D modeling assignments without tying up my main computer.

The definitive thing that interests me in the ZBOX is the small form factor and its little power consumption.

 

The many options of state of the art I/O ports and internal storage are a very big plus for me.

 

Last but not least its relative portability is also another good point.

 

Thanks and Greets

This would be great because I can use it in my living room to replace my ps3. this definitely beats unhooking my giant desktop and lugging it to my basement every time I want to use my tv for watching movies or playing games.

Why do I want this PC? The awnser is simply that I'd finally be able to make my own "master race box", wich I'd really love to do, to sit under my tv so I can drop onto my couch and do some work, play some games even all without it having be to "peasant- box or station" or building a new pc.

I am interested in it as it has a good graphics card but in a small form factor case. I am also interested in it as it would be a good console replacement as I prefer gaming on a pc.

This is a sweet little PC!  I'd love to win one!  Also, PfSense is awesome, my friend showed it to me a few months ago, we even have a VPN tunnel from his PfSense to my house (on a Nortel Contivity box that I found in the garbage somewhere!)... sick.

I have a really sweet pc, but my friends is really starting to show his age. Between his kids and the wife he can't save up for dome much needed upgrades. Winning this would be epic, cause I can just gift it to him and solve his problrms.

I would totally use this for portable lan party gaming. This looks super easy to throw into a backpack and take on the road with me. Can't do that with my full-size tower of a beast rig. Unless I'm angry, you wouldn't like me when I'm angry. :P
