I turned my previous (way too big) media pc into a freenas box, and now I am sadly without. Not only would this be perfect for the job, but it would also look a damn sight better! :)

Have been trying to get my friend into PC gaming, however money issues means that he can't build a PC on his own. With Christmas coming around, this would be an awesome present.

it's everything a HTPC should be, small footprint so it's not an eye sore, but powerful enough you don't have to rely on a backend to do all the heavy lifting.

I like it!!

Something like this would be an upgrade on whatever I have.

 

The small form factor would definitely allow me to carry this to LAN parties and the such over my laptop.

I think it would be cool to have a computer that is that small. You could make your desk look like there isn't even a computer near it. And I think it would cool to have.

I want the magnus so I could bring it anywhere with me. I could bring it to school and hit up some games, I could go to someone's house and do stuff, I could do anything that I can imagine

This would make a perfect media pc for my TV for easy placement due to the small size.

Thank you Zotac and LMG for the giveaway.  I would get this box as some sort of living room gaming PC.  Install something like XBMC for media and stuff.

You should join the Linux Party, we have a Bash.

The ,probably, best thing about this zbox, is thats it is even smaller than a ps3 and it performs almost like a mid range pc (solid answer..but truth)

I want the zbox to be my new router/firewall. Having two gigabit Ethernet interfaces makes it a pretty decent machine for that. It also could be a pretty decent LAN party machine (Wouldn't want to waste that GPU doing router duty all the time)

How the heck did they fit all that within such a small case?? Oh well.

Sincerely, I've always wanted to have a small pc, maybe for using it as tv console, maybe as a beefy htpc, but with such a powerful gpu it could easily be used for cs:go lan parties.

I've transported my +10kg, full-tower PC too many times, and all I can say is that it is a tough thing to do. This zotac mini pc is wayyyyyyyyyy better for that. So... yeahh, sometimes small is better. xD

Interested in that sweet & sexy new all-in-one from Zotac, the ZBOX MAGNUS EN970, that Linus checked out about a month ago? Then you're in luck, because we are giving that badboy away!

If you haven't seen the video yet (firstly, shame on you for not watching our videos daily ;) JK of course, no judgement here...) you can check that out below:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ssD1ALBZEZk&feature=youtu.be

But if you're more of a spec sheet guy or gal, click here to see the full breakdown.

Please keep in mind that this is a barebones kit. It does not include RAM, storage, or an OS, so the potential winner must be prepared to provide that on their own.

Alright, that's all well and good... now how do I WIN!?

Entry is very simple - just comment below letting us and Zotac know what makes you interested in the ZBOX when compared to a traditional desktop. And, if you're feeling appreciative, head on over to their Twitter, give them a follow, and say thanks for providing this awesome giveaway for the community!

The one winner will be selected at random on November 23, 2015.

One entry (comment) per user.

This is a worldwide giveaway with no age restrictions.

The winner will be contacted by me here on the forum. Disregard any messages, emails, Tweets etc. you receive from anyone other than this account here on the forum.

Good luck all!!

I'd use this as a great media PC attached to my lounge TV.
