I really would like a mini PC for a few reasons. The biggest thing for me is education. I am really into technology, and anything that has to do with it. If I were to have somthing like this, I would use it for streaming, and maybe as a media center. Basicly, A bumped up version of chromecast. My overall goal, like I stated above is education, and what better way to learn than hands on!

 

I want this compared to a traditional desktop because, first of all - I can't afford one. And second, somthing of a small form factor such as this would be easy to mount on the back of a TV or wall.

Computers r fun

I would love to see how does it compare to a full size build with probably not the same but close specifications.  :)

I want to put my porn on it!

 

Just kidding, I've never had anything so small that's considered a computer, that I can play games on and watch high definition videos. This isn't a neccessity, it's a luxury, and if I can get it then I might just scrath my current system, which is about 5 years behind compared to this one.

Nowadays company's aren't only making technology better but they're making it smaller so we can practically take it anywhere. It's pretty convenient. this is why we can have nice things :^). It's like making fun of that one short kid in your gym class, and all of a sudden he's better then you at every sport. But in this case humans can't run video games off their bodies

 

or can they?

The Zbox Magnus looks small even sitting next to Linus who is like a hobbit, If it has that much power, I'm in for one!

Man,

when i look at this.

 

Not only is this box like a 10th of the size of my current pc,

it also got a bigger gpu in it.

And all of this for less than what i spend about 2jears for my noisy Computer.

 

After i rewatched the 'review' i just got remembered of all those things i disslike in my build:

-noise

-space

-Performance

-look (imagine a sharkoon t9 value in red -- i hate red tho)

 

This Little engine would get a Special place on my desk and would make for some space in my room for my turntable.

I was thinking about getting a mint box mini but this would be way better. If I could get this free that would be just awesome. :rolleyes:

What interests me about about the Zbox Magnus is that it pack 1080 60 punch in a tiny form factor which is useful for what I need it for. (ie at team meeting and at home in a room overcrowded with work pc's.

I'm a guy who needs a new pc because my computer is five years old and its been showing alot of problems lately, but here's the problem i don't have money at the time.

An plus the zbox takes up way less room the an average computer.

It's compact, it's "portable", powerfull, looks great and has the potential of becoming a desktop repleacement (i'm still on a sempron from eleven years ago). So light gaming, internet browsing, cad designing, university papers, hd youtube and movies... Imagine all the possibilities! Would be perfect.

I love the small form factor compared to a large system that requires too many wires and takes up space. I'd use this system to game on, watch linus tech tip and other youtube videos, and also use it to learn programming on. I often have to travel to remote locations several hours away and I don't have a gaming laptop. I would bring this along due to it's portibility so I'd have a solid gaming system.

I like this computer compared a normal desktop because it's small size allows for ease of travel yet the gtx 960 is powerful enough to play most games. Compared to a regular desktop it's portability allows it to be used for gaming on the go. I was looking at it on Amazon but it was sold out so thanks for the give away.

I know I probably have no chance of winning, but I like the form factor. It's like the best of both worlds between a console and a gaming PC. I can take it places and not have to worry about how much space it takes up and how heavy it is. I also love how little power it consumes. 

AsRock z77 Pro3, i5 3570K@4.6GHz, PNY GTX 1060 6GB, Lite-on 256 GB SSD, Acer 257HU 1440p monitor, Windows 10 Pro and Ubuntu 16.04. All in a weird OLD Lian Li case.

Much more portable than a laptop, great for a media pc and takes up very little space. Small but powerful.

I'd totally use this as my test server before copying code off to the actual server. This would be amazing thing for that - just leave it up next to the modem/router (I have those set up in a really small amount of space, so only something as small as MAGNUS would fit.

Hi, I'm an AngryPerm.

 

I'd love this because I'm taking a load of parts out of my server atm. So I won't have a server in a few days.. I'd love to run virtual servers on this; pfsense, debian (For samba shares, plex), and windows. I'd love to have this in a different room next to my switch (for pfsense), and vnc it in a different room to my tv via my raspberry pi, game on it.

 

I don't have any pc's that I can tinker around with atm. I'd love to do some tech projects with it.

i love how its easily fit-able in the living room with everything else and that it doesnt take up loads of space so you can stream all your steam games to it from your main pc and play them downstairs with ease rather than moving a heavy gaming computer up and downstairs when you want to have a friend over to show them a game or when family want to play a game on it
