How does this compare to a mac mini, as a friend has just bought one as a media center PC?
This might be amazing with xbmc-live. Anyone fancy testing that for me? :P
The older, slightly larger Zotacs are/were ace. Very neat, inexpensive little PC in a tiny case. We've bought them for a variety of reasons, such as for running display systems in foyers and for exhibitions, or as cheap Linux boxes for controlling various bits of hardware. The ones we've got are certainly very quiet, although I doubt I've ever listened to them closely under any kind of serious processing load.

The only bad thing I have to say about Zotac's offerings is that it's very easy to scratch the shiny black lids. They make great little Linux machines - I've had Ubuntu 10.4 and Scientific Linux running on them just fine. Not really used Windows on them yet.
smaller than i expected it to be actually!
Any word on pricing?
