Zotac ZBOX HD-ND02

This is an awesome little barebones system! I built it for my parents to use as a desktop system; this little guy is more than powerful enough for what they need. They are not power users and do basic things like surf the net, email, create documents,...

The only con I can see is that this little system runs a bit hot. CPU temps average 70 - 75 Celsius ; It also would have been cool if it came with a remote, but you have the freedom to choose the remote you want, so it's not a big enough deal to take...

I work with these units daily as multimedia computers (driving digital signage equipment) and they are one of the better systems we've used in a long time. Paired with at least 2GB of RAM and a small SSD, they're just about perfect ; They don't put out...

The Atom CPU can be a little weak at times when driving full 1080p content without any GPU acceleration (certain codecs aren't accelerated) ; Also, don't plan on doing any serious gaming on these. They're meant to be multimedia boxes that can be...

Small, Quiet, Comes with VESA Mount ; Very easy to install the drive and memory, just two thumb screws ; Decent amount of options in the BIOS (hit DEL to access the BIOS BTW) ; According to my Kill-A-Watt it averages about 20 watts of power

Construction does feel a little cheap, but this shouldn't be an issue really. I wouldn't suggest stacking anything on top of it, but then you shouldn't stack any small electronics or they cannot breath properly ; Doesn't seem to support Wake on USB ;...

Quiet, Easy to install ram and drive. Works great with Ubuntu Linux (did not try HDMI). My UPS claims it's only using 10W or less, haven't verified yet. Pretty snap local service with 2 GB of RAM and an SSD

No access to the bios, so not sure if it has wake on lan or not and can't disable some of the external lights which are a nuisance or the wifi which I don't need on a lan wired server

Low power consumption, supports hardware H264 acceleration, flash acceleration, and 7.1 surround sound, completely silent

Only 1 eSATA port, but none of these mini ION systems have more than 1 so I can't knock an egg off for that

Small, Cheap prices, Super easy to put together. Built-in Wifi, HDMI out put

Not powerful enough to use it as media player ; Not as quiet as I thought it would be. Cheap plastic chassis. Runs quite hot after awhile

Small, low power consumption, HDMI (vido and audio) and fast wifi

This cannot play 1080p video as advertised. A bluray rip just stutters along and completely locks up the system. Flash is no better. Sites like Hulu and Youtube run fine if you keep the window at the default size, but if you maximize it to fit the...

Small cheap

Unlike what someone posted about not being able to boot from the card reader, you actually can. the BIOS is a bit funky. Remember that when booting from the USB (installing OS to card reader) the USB has to be device 1, and the card reader #2, then set...

Capable of playing high profile H.264 MKVs ; Excellent for XBMC setups ; Small form factor ; Quiet ; Lots of USB ports and connectivity

Runs a bit on the hot side. I'd recommend running it with the vertical stand. Heat does seem to flow pretty well out of the top and sides

It is very small, which it can be space save on desk. The only thing you need to add to it is a 2.5" SATA hard drive and 4GB (2 x 2GB) 204-Pin DDR3 SO-DIMM DDR3 1066 (PC3 8500) and of course windows. After that is done and working I was surprise it was...

NONE to think of
