Zotac ZBOX MAGNUS EN970 Giveaway

I'd use it as a living room PC, connected to the TV. Nice small form factor makes it fit right in, instead of a big bulky traditional desktop  :D

I like this noise optimized smal PCs, they fit perfectly under the TV.

Sure for the heavy lifting it's not fast enougth, but I don't do the serious work in the living room anyway.

Mineral oil and 40 kg aluminium heat sinks are a perfect combination: 73 cores and a Titan X, Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Oil

Hey PC Gurus. OldPCdog here,

 My reason for wanting the Zotac ZBox is,

The grumpy cook loves my pc building skills but hates that it comes in form of a great big black box. That I joyfully plonk on the table grinning like a Cheshire cat looking for a good boy pat, spending many painful hours to build after she hurtles another crappie laptop on to the tiled floor,

littering it with capacitors and hunks of shinny plastic. just to find out the wireless mice's batteries r dead or that g---oo--g--l--e sign pops up after she's done a humongous pile of crinkled clothes and straightened them with the iron.

Seriously I cant see what's wrong with the dinner guest jostling for line of site during a dinner party do you. 

anyway id like it to give her a powerful pc in a cute tiny black box. giving me the freedom of chipped tiles.

 

Thanks regards

Doug (OldPCdog)

Would love to be able to surprise my girlfriend with it when she get's back from her term abroad. She's been wanting to upgrade from her old notebook for way too long now, and this would be perfect for it. :)

I LAN with my friends, weekly. Moving a tower back and forth all the time is pain in the butt. Small form factor is defiantly a priority, wish I knew this before I built my computer. Not looking forward to hauling the beast around when Canada snows up to my waist.

I think having a powerful machine in such a small package is an amazing feat to achieve! It would be an amazing LAN machine which is something I still do quite frequently!

Since the ZBOX is a really small but enormously capable machine it would come in really handy for me and I would be really happy owning one of these:)

I really like this product, I mean... look at my PC specs, they are powerful enough to handle MOST of modern games, but it struggles time to time; and, at the top of it, I do a lot of LAN Partying, and since the case weights like 23kgs (50 pounds), what I bring to that parties is an old VAIO which can barely hold Starcraft II.

 

GL everyone!

I remember watching the video for that and think how cool it was that they could fit so much in such a little case. I would love to have one cause with my current pc its hard to take places, so having a small but fairly powerful mini pc would be very useful for bringing a computer with me places.

I have actually been following the Z box for a while and here is why i would like one:

 

1) Its micro in comparison to a full desktop rig 

2) its a contained unit 

3) is currently stronger than my massive desktop rig (750ti) 

4) its more console in its design meaning i can hook it up to my tv and sit on my couch and just enjoy.

5) I can tell people i have a zbox and they can be like dont you mean xbox and i can say screw the xbox

6) Last but not least i like the colour of the actual rig 

 

This is why i feel i would love one of these rigs.

I would love this thing 'cause it'd be awesome to be able to play all my steam games on my bigscreen TV.

what make me interested is that it is so small and it has desktop grade hardware inside it, i would use this for gaming in the lounge,or watching my nas movies; I could maybe add a little extra cooling to it; just to be on the safe side.
