HTPC! Yo, in New Zealand we have satellite tv boxes (SKY being the most poular with it's massive monopoly on the market here) however if you want more than what free tv (Freeview here) provides then there is a LARGE premium!!! For example for the bare minimum basic package with SKY TV it's $49.22 a month (with mostly free to view channels and channels absolutely NOONE watches). There's no sport or movies however, that will cost you an extra $49.22 making the total a wopping $98.44 FOR ONE MONTH!! However, my family are big fans of shows like Boardwalk Empire and Game of Thrones, If I want to see that that's an extra $9.99 increasing the price to over $100.00!!! That's just one box with 80 channels at over $100.00 New Zealand dollars! Also, this is without recording or playback functionality, if I want that that's an extra $15.00 minimum! Also we wouldn't mind multiroom, however that's an extra $25.00 a month or free with something you've covered here!
 

We just recently got Netflix here in NZ but although better than Canada's catalogue we still don't get these AWESOME programs without paying for other services or a reliable VPN.

I've planned out building my own HTPC and even buying one but the options here are so expensive, ranging from $500.00 for a crappy box thing to $1000.00+ for something decent.

 

So your saying I just want to be able to watch sport which SKY TV has a monopoly on and I can get it online with FANPASS (run by SKY) or some dodgy low quality service for free. Well low quality please GTFO and FANPASS, well that's $20.00 a week per season! (They used to list prices by season, which showed a price of over $600.00 for one season)

 

What I'm saying is I would love for the opportunity to turn this win into something amazing for many people to enjoy (including you if you wanna come over and stay for a bit)!

Too bad this is a random giveaway :P

Well my buddy only games on his TV anymore, but his system is very old and slow. In addition to that he is freakin broke so besides being the perfect system for him (1080p couch gamer who loves a quiet system) it would also be a chance for me to give him something nice during his difficult times.

I used to have an overkill PC in my home which my brother built in 2007. Over the course of time it has degraded and also due to a few mishaps (mainly my dad's because he did not listen to me when I told him that we needed a UPS of larger capacity , both my motherboard and Graphics card got fried up ) so basically my system has been walking with one leg for the past few years and I was planning on converting this my existing PC info an HT-PC (note, am reading my components instead of throwing them away ) and building a mid range PC for home.... This zotac giveaway can be damn helpful because I don't have much of space to keep another PC in my room since the existing one will still stay there and get connected to the home theatre system .... And I can spend the money I saved to get the components that don't come with it ...

Thank you zotac and Linus for this giveaway (please don't stop giveaways in the future :) )

I'm the vice President of the gaming/charity club at my college, so for demos and presentations I either have to take my very light notebook for bad quality or lug my very heavy gaming laptop that only half works across campus. We don't have much we can do on the campus computer in the room that is provided for us so something I can use for our club would be lovely

Would love the Magnus for traveling due to its size and surprisingly powerful hardware for gaming and entertainment on-the-go.

I Really Want to win the ZBox Magnus EN970 as I am One unlucky fellow who has an quite old PC, Socket LGA-775, Core 2 Duo E7200 4GB Ram Max and Biostar G31M+.

Plus the size of the ZBox, It is a winner, I can imagine bringing this SFF PC everywhere with many video cables, a keyboard and a mouse. This is just Top Notch Mobility.

I really would like this as I would find it impossible to build something this good alone (can't really afford it) and it is so small and convenient I just cant beat it. I also really want to run dem sweet games. Thanks Linus for the vids and Zotac too!
