Zotac Zbox CI320 nano Plus Windows 8.1 With Bing

The Zotac Zbox CI320 nano Plus Windows 8.1 with Bing is inexpensive, yet is a full functional PC made for basic use. It's an optimal choice if you want to spend as little as possible, while retaining the full capabilities of a Windows desktop.

Inexpensive. Quiet. Lots of I/O ports. No bloatware. VESA mounting bracket included.

Only 2GB of system memory. Needs more local storage for video files.

The Zotac Zbox CI320 nano Plus with Bing is a good attempt at creating a Windows PC for the same price as a Chromebox. It's competent enough to run Windows apps, albeit slower than other, more expensive entry-level systems. Though it costs twice the...

Zotac ZBOX CI320 nano Review: A Fanless Bay Trail-M mini-PC

Over the last couple of years, mini-PCs in the ultra-compact form factor (UCFF) have emerged as one of the bright spots in the troubled PC market. Zotac is no stranger to this segment. In fact, their nano xs units came to the market before the Intel...

All in all, Zotac manages to deliver a very price-effective passive mini-PC in the ZBOX CI320 nano. Along with the ECS LIVA and the Zotac ZBOX CA320 nano in the market, the days of users having to spend an arm and leg for passively cooled systems with...

OpenBSD 5.9-current/amd64 is Awesome on this!

Drivers: sata: sd sd card: sd ethernet: re wifi: iwm

Zero noise since it has no fans and I run SSD. Mounts to the back of my monitor with vesa bracket mount. Easy to remove bottom lid by unscrewing rubber peg legs. I love how small it is. HDMI works, Displayport works. Inexpensive Displayport -> vga...

I wish there was a way to lock the unit down securely to the vesa monitor mounting bracket. It is held by a snug fit and gravity.

Silent Ubuntu box

Highly recommend, needs a Displayport or HDMI converter if using with a VGA monitor (no VGA port).

Super easy to setup with Ubuntu, pretty much click and play. 8 gig mem stick and 128g ssd makes it run most stuff with ease (bogs down a bit with some heavy cad and image processing stuff I have... which was expected). Love the silence, this would make...

None, everything worked as expected.

Add 8 MB, an SSD and STAND BACK!

This little PC rocks. This is my second. I sent my first to a friend who needed a pick-me-up. Lots of medical issues with him and his wife. I add a single 8GB RAM stick. Put a 240 in this one (for me) and run windows on it. It screams fast for basic...

Even though it's the second one, it was a pain to set up. Installation instructions are brief, on line help limited, but I got through it. I need to learn the BIOS standards/approach. If you can work through my BIOS setup issues I would HIGHLY...
