Zotac Zbox ID89 Intel Core 3470T DVI HDMI Bluetooth USB3.0 Barebone Mini PC

Cons:Few usb ports. USB3 ports cause annoyance with window 7 installation. Case could be sturdier considering the price. Sata 2 only. Not for gaming. A bit hot during heavy load but nothing exaggerate.

Pros:Small and pretty neat looking. Very fast especially with ssd. Good for desktop replacement. Flexible configuration. No HD video issues. Quality product. Quiet.

Comment:
This is the future of desktop ! Low power Ivy bridge chips bring impressive power to this form factor. It also scream for an ssd ! I wish Zotac had gone for the H67/77 Intel chipset for sata 6G. It kill the ssd performance in half. The 2 usb 3 ports cannot be used during windows 7 installation. So only 2 usb2 usable (mouse,keyboard,usb cdrom ??) but can be circumvent easily. Windows 8 has no problem. Installation straight forward. No issues after.
