Knowing that ..... that's a pretty tasty little box.

The card is a GTX 960 w/ 3GB GDDR5, 192bit

It's not a 960M

It's a 970m with a different bios.

It even comes on a MXM card. In theory this could allow for a 980m to be fitted (although at a laughable cost).

These machines are awesome, small and unobtrusive for the living room

Only 3 issues I have with them is upgradability, optimization and games

If Valve can fix those then it will surely rock

Here's a review from OC3D

Seems quite a power house given it's size

Desktop quality gaming in a Console sized box, but hefty price.

I built my rig for just over £100 more than this and it's not much bigger.

Don't see the point.

Am I missing something or does it just have a single slow laptop 1Tb hard drive?
Potential for a ssd card, but none as default?

What case/enclosure you use?

Silverstone SG05.

Fits in my TV stand no problem.

So it's only over double the size then :rolleyes:

Nice case though, looks similar to my Nas box but without the caddies

I built a better system in a slightly larger case SST-FTZ01B cheaper

If this was £600 then I would say great price.

How small do you need though, especially when my double the size case absolutely smashes this thing gaming wise and is a full blown PC as well.

I guess you get the controller but I just use a leftover 360 pad.

I just love how it is called the ZBOX...

Your FTZ01B is still almost twice as big. Not exactly "slightly" bigger

Don't think there's a market for this type of product tbh. Tries to offer best of both worlds (console and pc) but it's too expensive for console market and too limited for pc market.

So I don't see who they are aiming this at?
